I got a new toy that's not a toy train! 🙂 Rather, it's something that I'll be able to use with my toy trains, and my web site, and this blog. It's a new lens for my camera, a Canon 100 mm f/2.8 macro lens. It allows you to get very close to your subject and should provide some really interesting photos of my miniature world in the future. For example, here's one of the first photos that I took with the lens. This is the builder's plate on one of the model locomotives. To appreciate it, you have to know that the actual plate is only 3/16" wide! I just want to know how they manage to make something that small that clear! 🙂
