Butterflies!

The annual butterfly exhibit is back at the American Museum of Natural History. Last time around I used my Nikkor-S 50mm f/1.4 non-ai and got this gem.

Thanks to having a D700, I was able to bring my Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/4 AIS today which I wasn’t able to do before. The lens is slow for the butterfly exhibit’s lighting, and older cameras’ high ISO performance wasn’t good enough without flash.
