Just blooming. First using my standard lens:

Now switching to my new macro lens and getting closer

I´m using a Panasonic Lumix GF-1 (micro-four-third) with the standard zoom lens 14-45 mm and the macro is the LEICA DG Macro-Elmarit 45 mm.

Hey! I was expecting a picture on subatomic scale for last. oke: This is one of my favorite paph species and I've never seen one that close.

Very Cool! Sharp lens, in the last shot you can see the individual cells!

Thanks! I checked on Panasonic site; this seems to be a very handy DSLR (compared to my 40D Canon) !!! Jean

Yes that´s why I bought this camera. It´s compact and very leightweight: only 770g (body with standard zoom lens and bag). Good for hiking.
