Just look at that bokeh!!
I once read someone's comment that said STF = shoot the flowers. Recently saw Sony STF on ebay for USD 550. Sigh!

A99 plus MAF 100/2.8 macro.



An unusual sunflower color.

Well given how A-mount prices have collapsed in NZ I don't think I'll ever sell mine. I think I saw one for sale here recently that was much less than you face.

And thanks, yes, the bokeh of the STF lens is very special. It helps make those flower pics jump out. It also helps it is pretty sharp across the whole frame too. Hope you get the chance to get one soon

Some nice work there, Mike. I particularly like #2 for the deep saturation and shadows.
