The little white blossoms are the stars of this photo, IMHO. Very nice, indeed. Beautiful bokeh. Your FA lens is a superb piece of glass. I had one, but now use the FA 100mm for a little more focusing distance. I think my 50mm was a SLIGHT bit sharper.... but not by much.

Thanks Dewman! I have the DFA 100mm macro and for anything that moves, it is the lens to use. However, for flowers and plants, and general walking around through gardens & forests, etc., the 50mm has added more flexibility for me. As for sharpness, they are both so good that any difference is negligible.
