Spent some time with my 22 year-old Canon A-1 this afternoon...

great photos! Cute subject too ! did you use a macro lens ?

Yes. For all those who do 35mm photography, I used a Canon FD 70-210 macro-zoom lens, Fuji color film, ISO 400, F8, shutter speed 125. I also used a tripod to keep everything steady.

That's how you get nice pictures, good lens and good technique...although, I'm all about the digital now

I'm wanting a macro lens badly

I have a Rebel S2 35mm and a few EOS lenses, and I'd like to get a digital that I can use the lenses on, but those are expensive (@$500 for the cheapest one).

By next week I'll have access to a Canon Powershot S3 IS, which has a super-macro setting that allows focus distances of 0 cm. We'll see what I can do with that.

NICE!!!!!! Is that lizard supposed to be blue? In anycase thats a great set of photos!
Now, why do they call it a 35mm???
Sorry I know more about chicken maternity than I do about cameras.
I just discovered the wonders of a tripod a month ago.

Yes, the Eastern Collared lizard is that color.

35mm Cameras are named for the width of the film, which is 35mm wide.

oh, :dumb: hehe. I thought it had to do with the thickness of the lense or something.
