Nice shot. I know those red wasps quite well and have been stung by a few.
I have a couple of yellow jackets building a nest up on my front porch. I thought about getting a ladder and attempting a macro shot, but then I came to my senses...lol.

Sadly, I made the incredibly difficult decision this week to euthanize my best friend, Buddy. He was 11 years and 2 months old. The Vet discovered a large cancerous tumor in his abdomen among other medical issues. Sadly, cancer is common in this breed. I was blessed to have 11 years with such a wonderful and loyal dog.
I attached some of my favorite recent photos of my best friend.

Here are some photos with the new lens taken yesterday. All of the photos except the last one were shot handheld at f2.8. The last one was shot at f4. All of them are heavy crops close to 100%. From initial focus testing, I think the lens is slightly back focusing, but not by too much. I did not make any AF corrections yet in my K5. The only corrections on the photos are lens correction, some curves, bump in vibrancy/saturation and default Light Room sharpening. I noticed some minor PF on wide open shots of the geese, but that was easily corrected. The color was fine, but it did need a little boost for my taste. The AF was silent and very fast and accurate most of the time.
So far, I am pleased with the IQ and AF of the lens. I've even considered not sending it back for the firmware update, but I know that I really need to!
I hope to see more impressions and photos from everyone else who got in on the deal!

I added my name. Red or Blue, every patriotic American with any character should be able to admit that this wacko crossed the line with his relentless unpatriotic attacks on the POTUS and the bogus birth certificate B.S. The moderate GOP should distance themselves from this nut.

There are some very impressive shots in this thread. Very inspiring.
Here are a few recent ones. Sadly, there haven't been many subjects lately because of the weather. I should have bought that macro months ago...lol.
