Yesterday I used yesterday’s gear in our garden; D850 w/200mm f/4D ED AF micro. Today I took the Z8 w/135 Plena for a trial run with the flower critters. All images are JPEGs straight out of the camera with no editing other than cropping…. I shot all of these at f/1.8 to get an idea of “depth of field” and bokeh at tight distances.

Thanks Dave & Lance for taking a look-see…. I did some minor editing on one of the bugs just to see what was possible with the Plena and JPEGs. Might be useful as an occasional macro…🧐
