A Simple Rose by the 77Ltd · 10:17 PM

Yeah sorry, not much to say, just a nice photo

Wow! Man that is beautiful Mike. I think the 77 ltd is my favorite lens for shooting flowers. Shooting flowers was the first thing I used the 77 ltd for, it has been my prefered flower lens ever since, especially roses for some reason.

Yes it is a VERY nice photo Mike, it's a real keeper! Hard to beat the 77ltd for color and contrast too. Did I mention Bokeh?

Thanks LaRee, its my first step into close-ups with the 77, i'm thinking of getting a +3.8 or +4 diopter achromat for the lens so i can get a little closer, currently my preferred flower lens is my Sigma 24mm F1.8 and though i doubt the 77 will bump it out i hope the 77 will compliment it nicely

A rose by any other name ..... great isolation and nice shot.

Syb · 11-15-2008, 10:17 AM

Wonderful color! Great shot!
Some shots do not require much words...

kurt · 11-15-2008, 12:49 PM

Wonderful capture! Seems that the lens has mighty optics and class

*MightyMike* · 11-15-2008, 02:54 PM

Thanks Daacon, Syb and Kurt... I have yet to get the best out of this lens but i'm already quite happy with it!

Mike, you got the lighting angle perfect there, good lens in good hands.

JMR · 11-15-2008, 04:32 PM

Very nice tapestry of colours. So beautifully arranged- visually, of course.

another interesting and beautiful shot Mike, from the other forum you posted some really nice shots taken w/ the DA 50-200 and a Raynox 250, how do you compare this setup to a Vivitar macro? thanks in advance.
