While hunting for dragons and damsels at Emmons Preserve on Sunday, I came across this stand of Blue Flag Iris growing among buttercups at the edge of a tiny pond. I had both the ZEISS Touit 12mm f2.8 and the 50mm f2.8 macro with me on my Sony NEX 3N and 5T, so I worked my way from a close in wide shot using the amazing depth of field of the 12mm, to various close-ups and macros with the 50mm. Both lenses are brilliant, each in its own way, but they share the particular ZEISS look, which combines clarity and contrast to, as I have said before, almost add another dimension to images. These are not studio quality images, with controlled lighting and black mat backgrounds, but for field work, I find them very satisfying.

Sony NEX 5T with ZEISS Touit 12mm f2.8 and NEX 3N with ZEISS Touit 50mm macro. Superior Intelligent Program on the 5T. Aperture preferred on the 3N. f16 @ 1/250 @ ISO 200 on the macros. Processed in Snapseed on my tablet.
