A friend of mine loaned me his 100mm macro lens. Haven't really had a chance to do a lot with it yet... but I love how this came out. He may never get his lens back!

    Your photos are great. My husband and I have various lens but the 100mm is our favorite for flowers and butterflies. I am trying to learn how to use my 1:5 for extreme close-ups but must admit it is very difficult. If you continue to use the borrowed lens I have no doubt that you will also purchase one for your own use. They are great!

    This will definitely be my next lens... just have to finish paying off the new camera first. :)
