Both taken on the A-200 colour etc just about spot on - depending on your monitor...On the large one I clumsily cloned out the label, nothing more at all other than the resize. On the close up I cropped it a little but it was about as close as I can get, hard to gauge at the telephoto end. Getting used to it though. It's a mixed bag really - it feels wrong not going so close, however - it's really useful for low depth of field to isolate your subjet and blur the background. At the wide angle end it's still very clear - but everything is in focus - which might be handy sometime...
Edit. PS Re the 'How did I get so close bit - bear in mind it's a pretty big flower. G
here's my small contribution to the galery...

AlkaPhunk _ thanks for your contribution - one of very few we've had from the Nikon fold as well. Nice pics, got any more...?
Thanks Geoff.
I'll hang around to see what pics i could add in any galery here, but i just got my 5900 a few weeks ago, so i didn't have that much time to use it yet.
But sure i'll had more asap.
Thanks again ;)
