#1 -- Plastic Optic Wide Open
#2 -- Single Glass Wide Open
#3 -- Single Glass at f/5.6
#5 -- Double Glass at f/5.6


Since these buds are basically white, I did these in B&W as I wanted to concentrate on form and not place any emphasis on color. Does a particular optic provide a more pleasing dogwood image to you than the other optics used? Your opinions are greatly valued. Have a great day. Thanks for looking/commenting.

Hey Rich Nice feel. Thanks for showing how different optics handle same subject . I have LB2& 3 , which seem to have same optics. Have been trying to simulate plastic with them but can't quite seem to get it. Now at least I can see the difference , Ta. Tony.

nice comparison. each optics has its own beauty.

Igor

Thanks, Rich. This comparison is very helpful to a newbie like me. I love the dreaminess of #1 the plastic optic gives and the slight softness of #3 from the single optic. (Now I need to go out and play with all my optics!!)

Beth

They are all very nice Rich. Each one creates a unique beautiful effect. Great comparison.
Scott

They look great, I like the halo effect of the single glass wide open and the double glass shot. But they were all great and it was hard to choose.

Thanks Rob, Tony, Igor, Beth, Scott, and Keith. I am glad that you appreciate the comparisons and appreciate your input on the differences.


Best regards,


Rich

I like the differences Rich. I think I like the double glass wide open and the single glass with a disk inserted.

Nice series.

All are totally beautiful. Magnolias look stunning in B&W. Great work Rich.

Rich

all of these are beautiful in their own unique way - thanks for the comparison.

Thank you Kmac. Your comment is appreciated.

Nicely done. Really like the single glass wide open.

Thanks Don. I really enjoy trying different optics on any given subject. Takes time, but often proves well worth the effort.


Rich

wow...nice work they all have great quality(s)

Hey Rich,
I particularly like the glow of #1, plus the dark diagonal lines formed from the spaces between the petals. Mary

Thank you Mark and Mary. Have a great weekend!
