I haven't gotten around to the WAs yet. Today was rainy (..thought that
was over for this year!) and other things to do, so I just played a
little with OM mount macro lenses. Starting to get the hang of it.

It all started before the 5D with the 1Ds. There used to be lots of
shots posted comparing various 21mm lenses and some 18, 24 and 28 mm
lenses. The Zuiko 21s, in particular, and 18 and the 28/2 all showed up
quite well.
Since I have the 18/3.5, 21/3.5 and 28/2, I'll be trying them on the 5D,
but probably not right away. My natural eye sees tele and macro shots,
but I'm not a natural WA user. I have to work at it. And I have no
interest in taking shots of the neighbors's house and garage just to
test the lens.like lots of the test shots the pixel peepers posted. I
want to do something nice. I actually did take some pics of the
neighbor's yard yesterday, but all close-ups.

Very fine shot, I would say! A shot like that isn't all, or perhaps even
mostly, about photographic quality, anyway, but I see little not to like.
