I'll be there sometime next month, what focal length did you have Chin?
(In case you're not aware, I am in Auckland now, landed on Saturday and will be touring the North Island first for 2 months and have ferry booked for December 1st then 4 months on South Island)

Wow nice, omg 6 mos! And on the bike!
I brought the Fuji 14mm, the 24/2 AIS and 135/2.8 AIS with a non-glass adapter
So in FF that's 21mm, 36mm and ~200mm
Felt limited in a lot of situations, always wanted something wider than the 21mm, would have killed for a 24-28mm option (maybe that's why I gravitate towards using my phone, ahem) and 200mm is just way too much mostly. I think if I brought the metabones adapter, that would have been awesome. Oh and ND filters, I don't know why I didn't pack them in the bag.
Rafael,
f2.8 looks better in my opinion. Working background to foreground - the background works in both, and is not distracting. The plane of focus is different in each, and that focus is the main subject. Is it the stamen area of the flower or the entire blossom? That is what I would determine first. You have two methods available to change DOF. Increasing working distance or stopping down to increase DOF, or getting closer and opening the lens up will narrow it - it just depends what you want to be the main subject.

Here is the same flower at 1.4 and at 2.8 with the CRT. Which one is better?
Inspired by Ray's use of a window to frame a landscape I though I'd share this very busy image from the V&A in Dundee.
Lots of reflections going on here but on the left you can see through the building to the bridge and hills beyond.
Been stuck on a used Rokinon 14mm f2.8 lens and AF Nikkors for days now. I hope today to remedy that in the non IR images. The last MF keeper is from Oct 7th with the D7200 & 400mm f5.6 ais the modified TC-16A handheld on a very cold day. The GBH was keenly aware of my presence, and I had to shoot across the corner of a lake to get this.
