I cant decide, so here are 3 small ones

Rokkor 58mm 1.2

sigma 70mm macro

tokina 35mm macro (same as pentax 35mm limited)
http://whyafoto.com/Family/Jody/IQ5Y2107/616726321_G4xB7-M.jpg

The odd things is that none of my favorites are taken with my voigtlander, which is by far my favorite lens. I really need to give that thing more use.


Ok really lame now... posting image 4

Helios 40-2

burningheart: Thanks for liking that unusual flower, the Grevillea rosmarinifolia, native to Australia. FMers helped put a name to it.

I like your sunflower shot, and its tonality.

kop.cppua: Like your pink flower -- lush.

Let me please suggest cropping it square, to tighten it for better balance and more focus on the main subject.

What a difference. The crop enlarges the subject. Can see the leaf veins and tonality much better.

Canon 5DMK2 + TS-E 90mm

Bob (rtallent), just got mine yesterday...still learning how to use it. I have a sneeky feeling someone is going to tell me my lens is crooked.

CP- Congratualtions, enjoy! It's a great crooked

Vancouver47: Your rose flower image provides a low-key tonality and detail feast for the visual sense.

This exposure suggests a painterly effect. If so inclined, please describe your technique here. It sure flatters this flower.

Damn Canon cameras don't focus worth a crap.

180L - but don't hold it against the lens!

I have that problem with my 5DII, too, but in my case it's compounded by using a Sigma 50mm f/1.4! (Really nice shot, BTW)

In truth this was one of the first photos took and has always been a favourite. As I remember it's pretty much as it came out of the camera. 24-105, 105mm @f/11 w flash. A bit of sharpening and clone out a blemish on one petal. Thanks for looking.

One final thought. I'm sure I under exposed significantly and adjusted a bit in curves. To me the vast majority of posies seem overexposed.

CP,
VERY nicely done. It hasn't taken you too long to figure the lens out and show us a fine photo taken with it
