Hi folks

I like this shot too, but this is what I wonder.

I am saving up to buy a new Zuiko 90mmf/2 macro. Have been for a while.  I 
already have a 100, but the 90 focuses much closer.

The 90 costs a power of money.  I compare shots such as this, with the 
Nikon shots published in John Shaw's "Closeups in Nature", and printed up 
to A4 size.

A I really wonder if even the expensive professional Zuiko lenses, such as 
the 90 macro is, can cut it in this company. I see people saying that the 
Zuiko 90 macro is the sharpest macro around bar none - and look at Shaw ... 
and wonder.

I saved Richards' shot and tuned it somewhat with Photoshop - and could get 
it to sharpen a little more - but not to the standard of Shaw's shots.

Perhaps the shot was significantly sharper before scanning - only Richard 
can tell us. ??
