    Lest I would forget my efforts earlier this week, here is the Tiny Mousetail Myosurus minimus in all its 25mm tall glory. I surmise only botanists at heart can truly love the encounter with this kind of species? The Mousetail shared its habitat with the likewise small grass Poa irrigata.

    Z6 with Voigtländer APO-Lanthar 125mm f/2.5 lens, around 0.7X. It would have been much easier to haul out the trusty Df for this capture, but I didn't realise that until it was too late. A lesson learned that the newest not always is the optimal approach to a problem.

Most people would bluntly stomp over that nice little plant, or even 10 plants at a time if having big boots...

I've never -yet- handled a Df, I'll have to assume it has an extensible LCD?

Ciao from Massimo

No, Df  hasn't that kind of LCD panel. What it has is a superb optical viewfinder that stays on all the time and is bright and easy to focus in the close-up range. And a design that allows better handling than the Z system under some conditions.

Birna didn’t mention that you need to get down on your stomach to use it, but that is standard operating procedure so doesn’t need mentioning.

The fact that this plant affectionately was put in the "belly plant"  class would suffice ... I was not happy with the Z6 under these captures as aspects of the camera behaviour and control layout impeded my work. The 125mm APO-Lanthar balances not well on the Z camera due to the FTZ adapter and that added to the practical issue I experienced.

My father wants to keep his Zuikos. He loves the 2.8/24mm and the 2.8/100mm especially ... I just ordered the 2.8/100mm and the 1.2/55mm and the 2.8/24mm Zuikos ... The 1.4/50mm is a lot of fun already. I guess the 1.2/55mm cound be even lovelier
