Thanks Joel. Yes, the blues are a bit pale. Worse with the Sigma lens.
All these flower shots were made using manual (ie non-digital) lenses, and
my experience with them, compared with using digital lenses, on digital E
bodies, is that the colour rendition can be a bit of a lottery. From memory
one of those uploaded shots could be bluer than the others because I
tampered with it ...
Poetic licence.
Maybe I should have shot the Sigma exposures in RAW, because in my
opinion, compared with the shots made using the 135/4 macro ( obtained all
the way from Piers in Scotland), they are washed-out, and have more
highlights.
Manual focussing, especially when upside-down over an E camera at
ground level can also be a bit of a lottery ...
