I STILL have the AE1P and some lenses in my gun closet...I also obtained in early-'80's and had a macro lens, though that is gone. I was in high school and was one of the two yearbook photographers and also processed all the film for the yearbook/paper. After college and the Navy, I got a shift manager job at a Kodak processing plant in Dallas. They're almost all closed now...the march of progress...digital photography has almost completely replaced 35mm.mr surveyor wrote:in the mid 80's I had a Cannon AE1P with several lenses/filters, one of wich was the macro. Man I loved playing with the macro....plants, bugs, Star Wars figures..but alas, some dirtbag decided the things in my house were intended to be in his posession and I lost about $800 worth (in 1986 money) of camera equipment, along with a few thousand in other unreplaceable stuff. Just didn't have the heart to get back hard and heavy into photography after that.
Cool photos.
Next, use a soft backlight on a pistol barrel and do a macro zoom on the rifling... I love that shot

I don't miss the plant job c.1992, but I do miss my 1986 vintage Springfield Armory 1911. Sold it to one of my Navy buddies in '90.
