Seeing the unseen with the A 50mm macro
Posted By: xs400, 06-13-2009, 04:33 PM

I was taking some shots of flowers in my backyard and didn't see the spider in the flower until looking at the shots at 100% crop on my computer.
K20 + Pentax A 50mm f/2.8 macro

As shot.


100% crop. That guy is tiny.

I thought the one I found in of of the shots I posted last night was small. This one is really tiny.

Usually I'd say megapixels don't matter that much, but I doubt that I would have been able to spot that guy with my *istD.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I have to say, I like the results I get from the K20 with the A 50mm f/2.8 macro.
