20150103_1949 Agapanthus Morning (Sat 03 Jan)

At Home, Illawarra, NSW

I want to spend a bit of time on my various lenses during the year since the 12-40 will obviously monopolise my mid-week shots.

In this case I took the opportunity to use the 60mm macro to shoot some of the rapidly decaying purple Agapanthus flowers in the early morning sun. I think that I should generally take the time to get out the tripod for these since my hand ain't Ansel Adams level steady. And as I've mentioned previously it will take some time to get a real hang for using this sucker.

My other lenses will get a workout too of course.

When I finally get them, that is. (Regular views will know that the 40-150 f/2.8 is on backorder until who knows when, and the 7-14 f/2.8 pro lens will be released sometime in 2015, maybe.)

(4th day of January and I'm 1 day behind in posting and several behind in commenting. Hey, habit's a hard thing to break...)

Great light and it is nice to have a macro lens available.

Lens addiction is hard to cure. I have been trying some old manual Oly lenses on my Sony A7 and they work well. The 60 macro looks like a fine lens too.

This is lovely. A welcome reminder of summer. V

This is a delightful image on a dull Irish winter's day.
I too am assessing my wish list of Olympus lenses - any recommendations welcome.
