This is the post processed version post earlier. Couldn't believe how many marks and dust particles are on this lens and it is near new. It is one fine lens though.

Very nice.............you need to get a couple of micro-weave cloths for your camera bag, they'll soon rid the lens of dust.

Thanks Em. That I have I just didn't bother to wipe this down first. Slack as I am.

Thanks Bob. I should have a bit of fun photographing small dead objects now. I'm going to try off camera flash as well.

Well I hope to bring the occasional flower, but, maybe nothing else dead.

For small stuff it is a good setup. Folds up to a nice carry case. Was experimenting with the white balance, then when I was packing up saw the temp on the bulbs, 6400 k.

It says "daylight balanced" in the description and then it says "compact fluoro". And you found 6400K. Confusing!!

Yeah, but I am easily confused. . I have a bit more experimenting to go, but works going to get in the road again.
