Bluebirds mainly eat insects, so maybe they are out hunting!

Interesting discussion. I think I am a confirmed prime lens shooter except for the Leica 35-70mm macro. You can tell a confirmed prime lens user by the way he still zooms with his feet when you see a zoom lens affixed to the front of his camera!

I love that black deuce coupe, especially since it has been kept original instead of being converted into the kind of hot rod the Beach Boys sing about! You Tube |

Love the photo of this little girl. There is a freshness of the captured beauty, innocence, and intelligence that is breathtaking. I think she will love to see this photo when she is an adult. Great use of the amigo!

Dahlias from our garden, more than 100 from which to select.
KIT: Pentax K-1 with prime lens Pentax 67 135mm f 4.0 macro, actually not a real macro by great close focussing 135mm, great lens for flowers.

Bokeh at f 4.0 with K-1 and Pentax 67 135mm f 4.0. We planted around 106 dahlias this season, and could lose them all to our first killing frost . . . almost any day now.

Yes, Richard, I like this little macro every time I use it. 50mm is a little short for macro work, but it works great for flowers. Also, I find that it and the Sony A-99 (alias Hasselblad HV) work well together for fast and accurate auto-focus, which is an interesting feature for me because I normally use manual focus for my flower work.
The AF Minolta 100mm is also a great lens, and a more traditional focal length, better for most subjects, I think. Thanks for noticing my photos. ivan

Dahlias with K-1 and Pentax 67 135mm f 4.0 macro. This is a good prime lens for flowers, and nice for close focussing.

Dahlias with K-1 and Pentax 67 135mm f 4.0 macro, well, more of a close-focus lens than a macro, but great for flowers.

K-1 and Pentax 67 135mm f 4.0 macro. This lens is excellent for flowers but not for macro work. It is more of a close-focussing lens than a macro.

Great shots of the white dahlia, think I have this one too. A close-focussing 135mm is pretty much ideal for closeup flower photography, I find. I catch myself often using the Pentax 67 135mm f 4.0 macro, adapted to the K-1 with lots of sharpness and no vignetting since the K-1 uses only the innermost part of the big P67 lens.
