I think the abundance of rain helps in our woods, although I'm pretty sure the hydrangea was planted originally and has become surrounded by subsequent changes from formal garden to woodland . I'm enjoying not having to wear wellington boots when venturing into the woods at the moment.Greg Beetham wrote:The last one the Hydrangea looks like a pink butterfly...hmm how come you get pink Hydrangeas in the woods and we get dry Mitchell grass...if we're lucky.
I like the bokeh in all of those, sort of makes me wonder if my MD70-210 f4 is worthwhile getting an adaptor for, very similar lens to the beercan supposedly, only MF not AF.
It would probably be worth a try with the MD lens - I guess mount converters are not too expensive? The manual focus thread on the Beercan is a bit mean and I find it fiddley so often rely on the AF despite this not being very fast or smooth.
I used the 70-210 all morning and I enjoyed the longer focal length for a change. (I have just got a monopod which I'm sure helped with stability.) I suspect a more modern 70-200 with f/2.8 would be heavier, although with a smoother AF?
