Thanks Dave. Gorgeous shot. So funny that I have this wonderful Canon lens in a box in a cabinets, unused for almost two years. During the time I shot Canon, I didn\'t know an extension tube from a toothpaste tube and macro shooting was something other people did. Although I loved the EF 135 f/2L to death, I never found a use for it that really took advantage of its brilliance. Yes, I used it for street photography but that was about it. I can imagine it is perfect for this kind of shooting with its outstanding color rendition and sharpness. I\'m not likely to reverse my decision to sell my remaining Canon kit, including this lens, but I certainly enjoyed my time shooting with it.
Here\'s another cala lily, this one shot wide open with the 180 f/2.8 AI-s ED shot with a 36mm tube attached. Spring in California is in full bloom and flowers are amazing...
