Looks like a fun spot to explore and you got some nice images. I'm a
sucker for backlit images that show the illumination of the tiny hairs
on the edge of the leaves with 6379 and 6401 my faves.

Rather than hiking in the redwood forest in the state park (Fall Creek), I went
for a walk in the chaparral in the county park halfway around my block (Quail
Hollow). As it turns out, once I put the DFA 50 macro on the K-1 it stayed
there for the rest of the afternoon. When I bought it, all I had was an APS
sensor body, and it was an awkward focal length, and the DA 35 made an
excellent go for a walk in the woods lens. When I’m specifically shooting
macro I almost always use the DFA-100, unless I want a wide AoV for the
background, in which case I’ll use the sigma 20, so I don’t tend to think of
the 50.
On my walk in Fall Creek yesterday, I found myself switching a lot between the
DFA 100 and the 35/1.4 so I thought I’d give the 50 a try today. It really
does work quite well as a walkaround lens, particularly in the woods.
At one point there were some backlit berry leaves that had mostly turned red.

If anybody is interested in the rest of my walk:

The manzanita was quite interesting, many of the plants were somewhere between,
buds, flowers and berries, so the macro got quite the workout.

Sooner or later "different" scares people.
