Comment appreciated.

Nice shots....Very nice......Thanks for sharing

how do you like the lens it is on my wish list

So far, I like it a lot. It is very sharp, has fast AF etc. Working distane is pretty short, and getting a bit more depth of field is going to take pratice. (I can't belive that the thorax of that tiny ant is in focus, while the head and abdoman are not....and it was a very small ant!)
Where I live the 100mm canon macro is about 50% more expensive so was outy of my price range, and I didn't like the build quality and AF of the Sigma 105 or Tamron 90.
The 60mm makes a great portrait lens too.

thanks for the info...happy shooting

The ant one's cool, little more DOF would be good but that can be hard. The colors are nice in the 2nd, i'd have tried going even closer myself, perhaps.

Very nice, you certianly gave the Macro lens a good work out.

The Poppy stamen is just perfect!

Nice shots. Very colorful. The 2nd one is my favorite.

I like the second one too, sharp and beautiful colors

Thanks guys, I'll post some more as soon as I get a chance.

Great shots, I really like the second one also!!

The 2nd one is really neat!! alan
