Due to low lighting & using handheld, the shutter speed was set to 1/400s for 300mm focal length, the iso was forced to increase to 3200.
Thought the pic will be noisy, but it turn out pretty good. :sweatsm:

I was talking to Charlie last Saturday of my plan for macro at Guilin Park & the slope beside Gombak Stadium.

Tks, Seefei. Got a 3 way pan-head and just started to fiddle the knobs:bsmilie:. Once in place, with tripod it will be stable and better than monopod but you lose mobility. Stationary subjects is Ok.

Guess most people will use the D21mm f/3.2 Ltd for landscape or some street shots, the close focus of this lens is actually very helpful when you want to shoot some products or your toys etc, especially if you only have a small space in your room to work on.

here's 2 quick shots of my SD Gundam toy with the lens.

stock for 3 legged monopod is coming to OP. I had placed an order for one. Maybe you can consider the 3L monopod and do away with cumbersome tripod.
