Saturday we had a rainy gray morning. On my way to an early lunch a
planting which I have often passed seemed to leap out at me. I
orginally shot it with the 24-70L Canon lens but I went back with the
100 APO. I'm glad I did.

This iris, peeking over a nastursiam (sp??) caught my eye:

And just a few feet over was this one surrounded by blossoms of a
totally different kind:

I loved the delicate translucency of this iris petal. The slight
imperfections are vividly realized by the 100 APO that the Canon
showed as much blurier. (I am not posting a comparison because I don't
know how to demonstrate the difference in a fair way: same aperture,
etc, I'm not a lens tester I just know the quality difference when I
see them on the screen. The Leica 100 just makes images that are so
precise.

And then on the way home via a different path I spotted these strange
plants. I've never seen their like.

All with the 1Ds Mk II.

Interested in your response.
