Texas is a great place for wildflowers in the spring. Here's a shot with the M 100mm macro and the K-01, what a great combo.

Be honest did you notice all these beasties crawling about all over your bloom, when you were taking the shot.

I like this image more because they're there, well done.

Nice shot ... did you know that you can get closer with extension tubes ? The M 100 f4 is only 2:1 "macro" by itself ... thus, not really a true macro (1:1) in my books ... I have one and it's fun to use alone or with a tube set ... J

Thanks Jean. I don't have K mount extension tubes. They seem hard to find.
