That's what I call sharp! But it's the lovely contrast between the green and magenta which makes it for me. That looks like a fun lens to carry round a garden, John.
Best wishes,

Andrew

It's a fantastic lens, compact, sharp and with a lovely character. Now Arley Hall is also fantastic, an absolute riot of colour if you choose your time right.

Very nice image, crisp and detailed and full of colour.

All the best,

Lovely shot

I couldn't agree more with the comments on the DFA 100 - it is great to have on the camera in a garden - great for shots like this, or push the camera a bit closer and you can get bees, bugs and butterflies (assuming they stay (fairly) still long enough)

Nice shot John, but 'compact'?

I assume you mean compared to a zoom lens, I've tried my Samsung version as a street lens and, although some shots were fine, I found the focal length limiting in a busy street.

In a garden though...

I meant compared to many macro lenses, especially independent ones. If you compare our 100mm FA Macro to the D FA Macro, then the latter is certainly diminutive.
Best regards, John
