I must be getting irritated, three spelling mistakes in my last post which I spotted after posting but no way I know of for editing my post.

G'day Aeros

I like the tone of your post as I also become turned off at times once the thread topic has been ambushed by others and meanders away into a free-for-all well away from the original subject. Not saying that this has happened here - but just making a point

Q- is there something else that bothers you here?

We all would have been served better if the post were titled "guess the lens". I have to agree there is nothing particularly "macro" about the two rather stock flower images posted. However we may all be diving down a rabbit hole as there was never a connection established between the title and the flower images posted. Probably the most accurate description of the post is non sequitur. Anyhow the title should probably refer to an electron microscope which was certainly not responsible for the posted images.

Right, Pitter, the shot were not taken to illustrate the power
of the lens — since they were taken over a fence — but taken
with that said lens. One can see and confirm, by given featu-
res in the take, that they were shot with that lens. Guess the
lens would possibly have been a better idea! Thanks.

G'day NS

Now that you're playing guessing games ... I will have a stab at things
a) the lens in use might be a 150-600 tele-zoom with a couple of extension tubes bolted on, thus bringing its minimum focus point down to maybe 1metre, or
2) the lens in use might be an astronomical telescope belonging to a mate of yours, and you have used sticky tape & fencing wire [ie: a good Aussie fixit solution] to things ...
and this optical accomplishment is pointing over the fence at the flowers shown to us

Howzat???

G'evening Phil

Now that you're playing guessing games, your second guess
is better (and not because of the tape!). I use my old 500mm
catadioptric lens that has an amazing minimum focusing dis-
tance for the focal length.

Have a good one! :P
