@Ronnie 2¢: thx! I laugh at my plans, but being familiar with the equipment is of some value.

These are tricky shots (for me at least). I can never get the focus just right. Well done, and the dof is perfect.

@Chris Parr: thx! I bracket the focus, what I see to be correct seldom is, so I shoot one a touch either way. In this instance the focus was on the backside of front leaf to see how the OOF areas would be rendered...sharper than I had hoped. Ordered a focusing rail, we'll see how that works.
@grant: thx! lots of frames to shoot before I learn this lense.

A lovely lens you got there. I have a 50mm macro, but really want something a bit longer to get the DOF your getting here.

@Richard_Irwin: thx! the plane of focus is very shallow with this lense.
