It's not very often that a flower shot really grabs me, but that second one is truly beautiful. I can imagine a nod of approval from Georgia O'Keefe if she was still around to see it.
I haven't tried the 50mm macro, but it's on my watch list. I'm waiting for the new Ektachrome to be released (if it ever happens), and my plan is to shoot a test roll and DSLR "scan" it with the 55mm/2.0 on an extension tube. If I like the results then I'll definitely want the 50mm macro, because its flat field would be perfect for the job.
It all depends on whether or not Kodak ever actually gets the new Ektachrome on the market.
