A Splat of Flying Colors
Lens: Tokina AT-X 90mm F2.5 Macro Camera: Pentax K-5 ISO: 200 Shutter Speed: 1/125s Aperture: F4

The first major test of my new K-5's tolerance to PP fun - it passed with flying colors (oh snap, pun intended!):



When the Bokina hits the focus, the results can be magical.

C&C welcome!

Where's my fly swatter?
Actually, that's a cool look. Nicely done.

I have a Vivitar Series 1 90 macro which - I believe - is (nearly?) the same lens as your Tokina. And I agree with your sentiment: My 90 is my favorite lens!

Yeah the vivitar has the same optical elements but with different coatings and a better build quality (though the Tokina's is just fine). When I first got the lens I wondered why it didn't sell for double what I paid for it. It's frustrating that great lenses like these aren't still in production.
