Thanks. My wife passed away in December, and I have been too depressed to play with my lenses and cameras, but flowers are blossoming again, and I have started a process of trying out all my 135mm lenses, taking a few photos here and there. 135mm is not exactly the best focal length for flowers, of course.

I'm sorry to read that, Ivan, but glad to see you and your work here.....

My condolences to you, sir. Rough times for many people. I have been on the lucky side of things thankfully. If photography can cheer you up a bit, you know there's good people here to connect with. Hope you keep them coming.

PS - I think we discussed it before, but anyways - 135mm while tricky for flowers it can really offer a good "portrait" look, especially on crop.

I haven't used a 135mm on flowers yet this year, so thank you as you just gave me a reason to pull a few of these out of the shelves.

Thanks to all dear photo colleagues. I appreciate your support, and am happy to have tons of cameras and lenses to try out! Yes, I like those chairs but still waiting to see someone sitting in them. :>)
