So, yesterday I was sitting by a little pond on one of our local game
preserves when I heard a little frog croaking. It took me a while to
figure out where he was, and as it turned out, he was sitting about five
feet from me.
I'm still amazed he didn't hop into the drink when I started shooting. I
got as close as I possibly could -- even closer than the F 50/1.7 would
focus! The little dude was about the size of a quarter. I was actually
hoping to get a shot of him hopping into the water, but he was a very
patient little guy. He finally did just as I was rising a bit to get a
better angle, so I missed that shot. But, I thought this one was a
pretty good get.

I have to say I'm pretty damned impressed with the sharpness of that lens!
