I picked up a Minolta 35mm 2.8 lens recently. Yes, a non-Nikon mount lens has been added to the arsenal. The 35 allows for extreme close up but at a bit less magnification than the 28mm Sigma I previously mounted. And I've heard these Minolta lenses were good reverse macro lenses so I needed to give it a try.
We had some freezing rain this morning so it gave me a great opportunity to take the 7D and Minolta lens out for some abstracts.
My favorite was this ice-scape image...
But I had fun finding other interesting contrasts and patterns as well...

I like the contrast of the ice against this piece of broken tree. |

As I continue to create with my discarded, broken gear my "functional" gear is collecting more and more dust. I'm actually really enjoying finding what I can piece together and make work. It continues to be a rewarding and educational journey.
I tried out a couple other non-macro lenses while I was shooting so I'll put together another post with those images.
