Water Betony, Shargacucullia scrophulariae, I had to look it up in my
field guide.
MX-1 @ 6mm which equals 28mm at fullframe. So this is a wide angle
macro! Forgot to set the apreture to full open for a creamier bokeh...
I like that! Bokeh is OK as is. Regards, Bob S.

It's amazing it has some sort bokeh given it's small sensor and the

I stopped by the camera store today to pick up a lens cap for a flea
market lens I got yesterday. While I was there I was chatting with one
of the salesmen. He said that they could barely move the K-5 and K-3
bodies, so apart from their K-3 demo they don't have any K-3 or K-3II in
stock.
That's kind of the opposite of the local store here. They carry Oly but
not Pentax, because Pentax didn't want to deal with them, now they won't
deal with Pentax. Mainly because they have limited space and already
carry Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji, and Olympus. The only Pentax they carry

I had both lenses and didn't like the DA40 very much.
Marital capital? over a $100 lens …
On the other hand, if you have a partner who is so tight about YOUR enjoyment

food, etc, … blow the wad and find a better way
