There is no sign yet of Lady Slipper, through the smaller forest-floor flowers of May have made a showing. There is hope.<\/p>\n<p>This Painted Trillium was taken with the wonderful ZEISS Touit 50mm f2.8 macro, a lens I have on loan from ZEISS for a trip ZEISS is sponsoring next month. What a great lens. I have missed true macro focus since I stopped carrying my Canon SX50HS, and the sharpness and clarity of the Touit lens is certainly refreshing! With its 50mm (75mm in 35mm equivalent) focal length, it has decent working distances and yet is easy to handhold for field macros. I like it!<\/p>\n<p>Sony NEX 3N with ZEISS Touit 50mm macro.
