I agree nice subjects Charlie, lots of busy bokeh from the Nickor-s though.

Somehow I liked that 'busy bokeh's irregular abstract texture against the fineness of the fuschia Hibiscus' petals in the center...

Wow - two beautiful flower shots to wake me up this morning.

Love that shot Charlie - but now you've given me GAS again - arghhhh :D . From a quick Google it looks like this is a lens that has an optional macro extender. Is this shot with the extender or not?

Very nice garden shot Biggator. I suggest you embed the image using the "Img" button so that it appears in the message, rather than the "URL" button.

Very beautifully presented, Shahrulzaman. This lens is really a good one, I've tried it and liked it very much. It's quite odd and peculiar that all prime SAM lenses are real gems (30/2.8 - 35/1.8 - 85/2.8 ). Haven't tried the 50/1.8 yet.

Charlie- the way that Nikkor really has some funky bokeh, and I love the way the flower is rendered. That Tokina err 'Bokina' shot with the bee has amazing detail.
Caporip- I assume that is catchlight in the bee's eye. It makes it look like a reflection of the flower. Very cool
Sharulz- That is a beautiful shot, amazing color and lighting. The 35 1.4 has become my go to lens for flowers as well. Amazing considering the price. John
If the last thing you remember hearing is somebody yelling 'CLEAR!!!', assume you've had a problem!!
