Macro return

Grumpy has calmed down......
Many of the older Bliperrati may remember the period of our lives when Chinese products meant, "Bright and flashy, doomed within 5 minutes."
Neewer make Nikon equipment that is extremely well made(identical), works well, looks good but above all else, saves you heaps. 
Eg Newer Tripod £52; Ring Light £46; Speedlight £65.
Sigma 105 Macro lens. £339. (Nikon £649) 
In these cold bleak times, if you have a bit of spare cash the macro equipment may help introduce you to something you CAN do indoors. It's a fascinating part of the art, which can surprise. 

My man tart is from Cyprus 1972. Photobombed by Jock Wallace, we were all heroes then. GPMG weighed 32Lbs and a quick 200 rounds weighed 12 Lbs. You usually carried 600 rounds - each. I loved my gun, we really did practice firing from the hip - sex has nowt on a GPMG chewing up whatever is in front of it.
