Thanks for the advice, Erad. As I said, you seem to be taking some nice pics with it. I have heard the front element rotates on that lens. Do you find that in any way bothersome, or do you even notice?

[Erad]

i do notice it, but it doesnt bother me.

Hey!! An excellent job on that tiny red flower - difficult one to get right.
reds are hard enough without it bein tiny as well ~ Great job!!

Went out flower hunting again today . Here is the harvest.

First, an almost flowering Teasel, with a spider web and a drop:


And a Teasel that has started to flower:


Staying with prickly purple-ish wildflowers, a Bull Thistle:


Mostly purple, but with a bit of yellow (Nature has obviously been reading up on the theory of complimentary colors) a Bitter-Sweet Nightshade:


So much for my purple harvest .
