Hi folks
I like this shot too, but this is what I wonder.
I am saving up to buy a new Zuiko 90mmf/2 macro. Have been for a while. I
already have a 100, but the 90 focuses much closer.
The 90 costs a power of money. I compare shots such as this, with the
Nikon shots published in John Shaw's "Closeups in Nature", and printed up
to A4 size.
A I really wonder if even the expensive professional Zuiko lenses, such as
the 90 macro is, can cut it in this company. I see people saying that the
Zuiko 90 macro is the sharpest macro around bar none - and look at Shaw ...
and wonder.
I saved Richards' shot and tuned it somewhat with Photoshop - and could get
it to sharpen a little more - but not to the standard of Shaw's shots.
Perhaps the shot was significantly sharper before scanning - only Richard
can tell us. ??
