Some shots of my Catfish, Loaches, Eels, Algae eaters, Rays…

[the solitaire]

Thanks for sharing. Now I know how you get such crisp shots with massive dof at close range on 2" fish [notes taken!].
I don't think that Nikkor has a lens that fast in the 50mm macro flavor tho :-(

Just liked to chime in here. Nikon has something in that range, but nothing electronic.

The 55mm f2,8 AiS Micro Nikkor.

Personally I picked up the predecessor 55mm f3,5 Ai Micro Nikkor for an irresistable $50.
It's one of my favoured lenses for quite a lot of stuff.

Is already very sharp wide open but only gets better up untill f11, and then lets down a bit.

I think you should still be able to order the f2,8 AiS new. Otherwise, I think my copy is from the 80's and it still works great (even after I accidentally dropped the D200 and the lens, landing on the barrel :'()

Now back to the topic at hand, nice pictures on those gobies.
They really are surprisingly colourful little creepers. Tend to chase fishtails however.

So, here is my Handsome male Peacock goby:

surely handsome

 

[AQUASAUR]

OK, let see will somebody guess: Who is this "Aquasaur"?

BTW, I don't know why...but most of my photos in this topic had disappear!?
I had try to input some again, but it doesn't work!?

Looks like a royal panaque to me. The red eye gives it up.

Not a catffish person so I will leave the guessing to others but I have to say it looks like some lovely macro work Hristo!

:-o I think it's Panaque. If not, what it is? Beautiful photos ...

 

[AQUASAUR]

Yeah, obviously, it wasn't a hard guessing...
That's right, here is that unique prehistoric Creature:

Panaque Nigrolineatus-Royal Pleco

And here are three more typical macro fragments about:

BTW, some of these Panaque's shots of mine you can see published in the last November' 2011 issue of TFH Magazine.[FONT=&quot]

Awesome shots. The detail in the last is superb.
