Another outing with my wife, got one shot I'm happy with and one that's a near miss.

Here's the miss...not enough DOF! The frog was only about 1.5" long. Shooting wide open at f6.0 I got the eye in focus but all the rest is out of focus. I still had a polarizer on, if I removed the filter I could have been at f8 or less. Live and learn, but check out the eye detail in the crop.

Lovely piccies.

I've personally found the 12-50 to be a lot better lens than some give it credit for.

Imaging Resource testing supports my view as well.

This lens might be the unsung hero of my lenses. The macro comes in handy!

Very impressive the macro function of this lens. This cactus is around 1,5 cm in diameter

Playing around with three lenses comparing them for detail. Taken off our balcony, here's one jpg at 50mm. Straight out of the camera. It was a very windy, hazy day

Took a trip with my wife to the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay Harbor, ME. All of these were shot in macro mode. Most are SOOC JPEGs.

Monarch caterpillar, I think.

@exakta

There was a young lass from Australia
Who painted her ass like a dahlia
The colours were true
Being red, white and blue
But the smell was a horrible failure

I like limericks ...
