The bokeh is SUPERB!

Thanks. I am glad you liked it. I realise this is what you get when you have a 8-blade aperture!

Oh okay!

Even the 100mm f2.8 macro lens has an 8 blade aperture, but I have seldom opened it as wide as f2.8. I almost always end up using it between f16-f22..

Yes. I know your "field" of work with the camera and this particular lens!

OT: So when are you beginning a thread showcasing a series of your work?

OT: I would love to share some of my macro work, but haven't really got anything substantial to share, unfortunately.

Thanks Nelson for the details.

One from my side, I do not know if it qualifies since it is neither glass nor crystal but a little of both...
