My word but you sucked all the detail out of the bee and the thistle and presented it beautifully. Wonderful shot.

You can thank the Pentax M 50mm f1.7. I tested all my standard Bayonet lenses and the only one that performed better than this for macro was my Pentax-A 50mm f1.4 but I dont like the Idea of that nice big chunk of glass chasing after a jumping spider mere inches from peice of barnboard or rock especially since I dont like/use filters.

Thanks..I just Love my f1.4 so much for group portraits I just cant risk it, and the only performance point I could see that is the 1.4 is slightly easier to see the subject through the Veiwfinder.
