Thank you Peter.Nice pics. Number two is a Pyramidal Orchid - Anacomptis pyramidalis and usually flowers March - May here, but probably later in UK.
It is an amazing lens - bought for its long capabilities but capable of being used almost as a macro lens.

That's the way I'm using mine more often than not. Okay, not macro as such, but tight crops on flowers etc, and throwing the background way out of focus.It is an amazing lens - bought for its long capabilities but capable of being used almost as a macro lens.
Will get round to posting some more examples at some point. Had a bit of an orchid-fest myself a couple of weeks ago.
