Unlikely Macro...
Posted By: Scott Rylance, 01-10-2007, 04:17 PM

I was out the other day getting a few snaps, I had the 10-17mm FE on the K10. It was a pretty hot day and lots of flys around. There were some tiny grass flowers in front of me and a fly landed on them. I put the FE to 17mm @f9 and got as close as it would focus (just about touching it) and got a couple of shots. These two are about 60% crops. Not great..but pretty good for a non macro lens @ 17mm! Oh forgot to add, the fly was about as big as two match heads.
Just added a couple from that day as well.

So, who needs a macro lens anyway? :-) Seriously, they are very nice shots. I also like the last one a lot, the rails seem to go on forever....
