Wild Flowers and a DA* 300
Lens: DA* 300 Camera: K-1 Photo Location: Lake Jackson, TX 
Posted By: Sailor, 04-17-2018, 07:37 AM

I continue to enjoy the DA* 300 that I bought at the end of December. Oddly, I often find myself pointing at stuff a few feet away rather than a few hundred.

Here are some wildflowers I photographed a few weeks ago.

Appreciate it, Ivan. I do seem to find myself using it at "macro-type" stuff.

That few feet away thing seems to work pretty well. Nice shot.

That lens is razor sharp and creates a 3D effect.

Thanks, Trev. I'm finding the 300 to be a fine lens that's fun to use.
