Peso: Geranium
I shot this in direct, low sunlight to get as much drama as I could, This was done with the D FA 70-210 f/4. It is a 25 image stack shot at 70mm and f/8. The new lens is very sharp, and contrasty, but it doesn't quite have the magic of the D FA* 50mm f/1.4 The 50mm lens would have given me some 3 dimensionality that this lens lacks. http://users.accesscomm.ca/wrphoto/geranium.html enjoy bill -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: K-1 and Metz 58-AF-1 - strange P-TTL interaction
Thank you, Henk, Mark, and Larry! I forgot that the firmware can be upgraded on these flashes. Indeed, the concise firmware upgrade (circa 2016) says: "Now also for PEntax K-1": https://www.metz-mecatech.de/en/lighting/firmware-download-flash-units/mecablitz-58-af-1-digital/pentax.html I am actually rather curious what's different in K-1's hot-shoe functionality that prevented this flash from working with it properly (but still allowed working in the HSS mode - although I am not sure if that's functionally "HSS", as the updated firmware, reportedly still doesn't support HSS with K-1.) But that is purely "academic" curiosity. BTW, if someone is interested, this thread lists the flashes compatible with K-1 (and K-1ii), also discussing the limitations: https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/190-pentax-k-1/382649-flash-compatibility-k-1-a.html I've also realized that I missed (or forgot) the fact that Metz went through an insolvency-acquisition-split - back in 2014-2015.

Thanks Larry, single frame with Tamron macro 90/2.8, handheld w/o focus stack. I do focus stack a lot with tripod for e.g. mushrooms but I don't master this technique for living insects like dragonflies and butterflies where you can only slowly creep in their direction and hope they don't fly away.
