These just popped open in our garden. Z7 with 70-300 AF-P lens with a 1.8 2-element close-up diopter. Processed in C1.
This one appeared so sharp I had to dial in a minus 50 on clarity to get a softer effect I was looking for. Also a side note that it appears sRGB cannot hold the low red gamut present in this rose, so a bit of color posterization occurred when converting for web:
Second one w/ same outfit, but processed essentially as shot:

Akul, your certainly have the eye. You are able to frame the every day normal and make a very appealing/interesting composition repeatedly. I very much like how you group like theme and image size in your multi shot posts for a very easy on the eye viewing.

Fantastic!
I appreciate the comments, guys. Thank you!!
Just got lucky with this one… I knew there was a pod of orca around, but they disappeared for a bit, so I was tracking the murrelet to keep myself entertained. Glad my trigger finger was itching!
Screwing around with adapters for Canon lenses on my Nikon Z7. This one is a Canon 24mm EFS APS-C crop Pancake mounted on my Z7 via an Altson adapter. This adapter takes both FX EF and Crop EFS lenses and I had good success with Canon's 40mm STM pancake on it, so decided to see what the tiny crop lens would do. Surprisingly, CaptureOne recognized I was using that lens even though it was a crop lens on a FF camera over an adapter, and auto-applied the appropriate correction for its barrel distortion(!) I was shooting in square capture mode which *just barely* eliminates the crop lens' vignette. While it isn't the best 24mm in the extreme corner, it is sharper than it should be edge-to-edge, even wide open.
Some of you are wondering why bother and I get that. But in this case I am bored with covid lockdown and this was an inexpensive experiment just for fun -- this lens cost me a little over $100 US and the adapter was under $100 on Amazon. The lens is tiny and I actually like the look it renders, so will likely keep it -- which surprised even me . This is just a grab capture from my daily walk, f8, processed in C1 to split-tone mono with a 1-stop vignette added:
Nice shots
