I received my new Pentax K-5II camera and 18-135mm lens a few days ago, and today I took it on a walkabout in the garden.

Those are some sharp looking cacti. (arf arf arf). This lens never gets credit for being a great lens for flowers... but it's strengths and weaknesses really lend themselves to flower shots. (Strengths centre sharp, close focusing... weaknesses: lack of edge sharpness.. which is irrelevant to centre sharp images with bokeh at the edges, like many flower shots.)

It's amazing how rarely the tested lack of sharpness on the edges ever come into play.
