I think I'm going to have a lot of fun with this lens.

Some very nice shots there Nick, and I'm sure you will have a lot of fun with the lens.

Never mind the lens. What I want to know is how you got enough sunshine to tempt the insects out.

Re: On Flowers, not very Original

Thank you Steve - now there is a whole different pictorial vocabulary to learn with this new lens.

Well Melaka - it was sunny 'ish' between the showers.

Just sharing my excitement with a new toy, the 35mm macro lens.

Very nice shots Nick I look forward to seeing more.
I am quite tempted to get it myself, despite having the 50mm. The greater magnification is tempting and the quality looks really good too (as you show).
All the best,
Phil

Re: On Flowers, not very Original

Thank you Barr1e and Phil.

Just on one outing (and using hand held) I'm really pleased with the lens (and actually quite proud of the shots - especially the first one), but no doubt I'll do better - there seems to be a lot to learn about composition and control of DOF for this macro stuff.

Anyone wavering on whether to buy the 35mm macro - well it is a steal at the price especially before the last round of price rises make it through the system.

They're good

About how close were you to the flowers?

Thank you Ellie - very close, I didn't measure but probably less than a handspan in all images. First time I've seriously used liveview to aid composition.

Shows it works as it's meant to

Very nice Nick. It's such a crisp lens.

I'm sure you'll love it. I really regret selling mine, although the Sigma 105mm I bought instead gets me a bit further away.
