Da ist dir eine sehr schöne Nahaufnahme von dieser Blüte gelungen lieber James,man bekommt auch ein feines Bokeh,wie man sieht und du hast schon ein gutes Tele jetzt,da lohnt es sich immer,mit mehreren Motiven zu spielen,gefällt mir diese Ansicht auf die Blüte :))

Wünsche noch ein schönes Wochenende,liebe Grüße Güni :))

Thanks Güni I have a good macro lens and my 14-150mm that suit most of my photography but as I find I am less able to get close to some subjects, mainly birds, I thought it was time to crack open my wallet. So far I am pleased with my new lens.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend

What a beautiful orange (= Dutch) colours !!

Thanks Jaap I guess you mean for the football team? I wouldn't know because I don't watch football

Nice close-up James!

Many thanks Jean-Paul

That lens is one of the Olympus "plastic fantastic" line up..........it gets really good reviews..!!

This image is beautifully sharp and detailed and I love the vibrant orange colour and the out-of-focus background is lovely. I'd say this is a successful test shot James. I'm looking forward to see what else you can do with it.

I always think it's such a shame that these gorgeous flowers last such a short time ;-(

I had to go for that one as it is lightweight and the cost !! This will give me a greater range than my 150mm especially if I use the cameras built in 2x converter. So far I am pleased with the results, I did try a Panasonic and to put it mildly it was rubbish.

Many thanks for the comment

Very pleased. Good use of your money

It certainly was Eva

Da versteh ich dich sehr gut lieber James,bei Tieren ist ein Tele immer ein großer Vorteil und man kann damit auch sehr schön freistellen :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Abend,liebe Grüße Güni :))

They're good value and as you've just shown, it's good for telemacro as well.......especially for butterflies and bees etc.

I've only ever had one Panasonic lens......the 100-400mm and I wasn't over impressed. I sold it on quite quickly!

I'd really love the OM System 90mm macro........but I'd have to sell a kidney to afford it ;-)))

If I was able to do as much photography as I was able to do 15 years ago (I had an accident so mobility and weights are a problem) I would quite happily sell off parts of my grandchildren to fund my obsession :-)))

I hope my children don't see this!! lol

:-)))

Fabulous orange, great texture and detail with your new lens.
