Well, I've been enjoying the DA 50-200 immensely since last weeks purchase. Sadly, I have not been able to use it on any real sport spots like I wanted to, but I have been able to get a lot of tulips. I am surprised at how some of my tulips, up close, look like thornless roses.

I hoep you enjoyed these. I love it when the rain comes out to set the stage for a few little drops on the flowers, then the sun comes out to allow me to shoot them. Very cooperative.

You're right, the rain drops do give the picture something extra. I really like the first one, nice colors and DOF
