At last, though still not to be taken for granted. Just a few (for us) cheering blooms in the garden. Hope they do the same for someone else. I'm not good with names of flowers, so they are all unnamed! K1 + Sigma 105mm 2.8 Macro.

Stunners JVs, in both light and frame.

Superb images - I think your focusing is excellent, picking out the most interesting textures perfectly (no.8 illustrates this perfectly) - simplicity with style

And it's not just the focusing that's excellent, so is the lighting. Together they give a distinctly 3-D feel to the pictures (at least for me). It's a joy to see them.

They are quite excellent and the colour rendering of that lens is beautiful.
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Thank you all - glad you like them!
I really like the bokeh produced by the Sigma lens, though I also find it very sensitive as regards focal length - but find the right spot and it’s a cracker!

Not sure what you mean here, the focal length (105mm) is always the same. I too like the bokeh that this lens can produce, however I've seen it vary markedly with aperture.

Steve, you are quite right - I meant to say aperture, not focal length. My fault!
