Thanks I usually try to stay faster than 1.8 if possible. Zeiss 50mm ZE and Minolta 58mm 1.2 are my current favs

Daylily - I guess its different variant or it simple got more light.

Manual focus with old APS-C dSLR is really painful experience.

This set was taken with my little Nex 5n and my large and very heavy Minolta AF 100 Macro, a lens I had determined never to put on the Nex and now I have.




















Big finish with fireworks

Seems worth it, supposedly one of sharpest macro lens in 100mm range, isnt it?

That red seems bit "hot". Nice pics, quite a bit of "pop" in them. First and second have a bit of 3D quality.

Yes, it is sharp and it is also f/2.8 but feels like a 300mm tele. Your are right about the red in the final pic. The others shots are all flat zero on both vibrance and saturation but the final image has those yellow tips on the flowers which are really bright. I lit them up and was not watching the red go hot!
