Thanks, Ken.  This 90/2.8 focuses down to 28 inches, so it is a good companion to the ZD 50/2.0 Macro for insect work.

For a change of pace, I mounted my Leica-R 90/2.8 Elmarit on the E-1 and
looked around for subjects.  Flowers are getting past their prime, but I
found a Rose of Sharon bloom that was fresh enough to attract a
Skipper.  Is was only after I pulled it up on the screen that I realized
that there was a bee deep inside the bloom, as well.
Good capture!

The Fireweed is getting pretty "loud" here. There comes a point where
the hills tend to shout a lot. It's quite beautiful. But it also means
that the bee activity takes on a level of frenzy that is almost scary.
