Close-up of some blooming rapeseed. But does it really count as a flower?

I quite agree with you, Rose. This ranges under what we call "eierlegende Wollmilchsau" in German (egg-laying woolly sow).
If I don't want to carry three primes this is my favourite option for just everything interesting that presents itself. And the series of flower shots was just to prove that pigeonholing is not always helpful. First I thought I'd better take the exif data out to have these photos judged as photos and not by the gear (camera / lens) used. But on second thought I kept it. I find it important to show that 200mm is apt for flowers as well. And just look at the beautiful bokeh you get at the long end:
#4,690, #4,681, #8,609, #8,582, #4,670, #2, #4,623
Thanks, Apollo!
And with a manual focus lens no less
Which would imply this was only a happy coincidence. Which it was of course
Wasn't the only time that happened and again with a manual focus lens

i've hardly had it off the M1 Mk11 since I bought it. Usually only take it off for birds with the 100 - 400, or to play with a prime or adapted lens.
