I found a 60 mm f2.8 in the equipment closet. I have not used a micro before, so I couldn't believe how close I could get. It's like using a wide angle, must get closer! I think I will enjoy this lens for this upcoming spring.

    Must get closer..... hmmm now where have I heard that before rolleyes1.gif
    The desire to get closer can drive you nuts John
    I have to keep remembering to breathe.
    Holding your breath to get the shot, can take longer than you anticipate sometimes :oogle

    I'm sure you will have many many hours of fun with this lens.
    Lovely series, thanks for sharing thumb.gif .... Skippy :D

    I really like the bokeh at 2.8, of course that can present some problems if the focus is not correct, ie, not too forgiving. This is going to be a great lens to have when the azaleas bloom and the bees fly around.
