Basically it sounds like the 50mm wouldn’t change anything for me.

The 100WR has gotten some mention of the slow focus in reviews. I am currently using live view on a KP. I can use the viewfinder in the field but on a tripod with an extension arm in the studio for macro shots (watch detail photos) I can’t use the viewfinder. So the live view focus is slower? I guess I didn’t realize the AF was different in live view. I rely on the autofocus because on the extension arm, I can’t get super close to the camera.

Thanks, that’s why I went with the 100, but the focus is so slow, was hoping the 50 was faster.

I have the 100mm D FA WR macro lens, wondering what the advantage would be for adding the 50mm D FA Macro. The focus on the 100 is pretty slow , fine for studio work like I am doing currently, but it’s a pain in the field. Is the 50mm better?

This feature is not new really and cameras haven’t died. I demonstrated to my girlfriend what an 85mm lens did for portraiture on my KP vs my very up-to-date iPhone and her very-up-to-date Android. She was very clearly more impressed with the camera photos in general. I get the same reaction when posting camera photos on social media compared to phone photos. airs very possible to take breathtaking photos with a phone camera, the ability is in the artist, but the tools affect what you can do.

Needing it exactly once in a decade seems sufficient cause! :lol:

This was the photo I intended to post two days ago, not sure how I posted the wrong one. Got out of the car in the rain and walked down a washboard road staring at the hills until I found contours I liked with good clouds behind. This was my favorite.

This was at 16mm on the 16-85mm, no more real estate. I also took a shot with the 14mm equivalent on my iPhone and couldn't get it all. I forgot about the super-wide on my phone (it was pouring rain and I was standing about a foot off a busy highway in poor visibility bracing my elbows on the roof of my car to hold the camera steady -- I was distracted), that would have gotten it.

I was frustrated that I drove 5 hours to take photos and end up in a downpour with more rain predicted the next day. I was also all but out of gas.
Then this happened.

Yes! Plowing around the contours of the hills sets up very distinctive lines.
