Thanks Howard. The lens is the basic, 18mm-55mm Nikkor for the D40. Simple zoom, not a macro, nor is it a "VR" lens.

Just a quick question for clarification of your technique you said you handheld your D40 to the eyepiece, the meta data says that you used a 32mm focal length so I'm assuming you were using a zoom lens? was it a Macro lens by chance or a regular telephoto?
