Thanks so much to Scott for selling me his SD1M when he was done with his epic roadtrip!

It's quite an adjustment to lack liveview… feels like I'm back in the 90s (but in a good way).

I don't have any Sigma lenses yet, so I'm adapting my Nikon lenses with an AI-PK mount. Not ideal, I know.

The Nikon 55mm macro delivers:

no color aberration outdoors… such detail!

spiffariffic,

Well done with your "new" SD1M.

Can you say what AI to PK converter you are using  for the Nikon lens on the SD1M. Does it have a correction lens for Infinity focus in it and can you remove that correction lens for greater macro work. I have an M & F adapter, it works but I think the correction lens could be better. It tends to produce images brighter in the centre depending on the lens & circumstances. It is good with my 55mm f2.8 micro though.
