die T1 scheint ja wirklich ein Hammer zu sein…extreme Bilddarstellung…scheint ja ne Sünde wert zu sein von OM-D nochmal zu wechseln ???

  das glaube ich nicht… die OM-D ist doch vergleichbar gut. Ich habe meine Nikon D800 und 5 Festbrennweiten zum Verkauf bereit. Ich will deutlich weniger Gewicht. Will und kann das ganze Zeug nicht mehr mit mir rumschleppen. Und die X-T1 ist wirklich eine sehr gute Alternative. Habe noch das Kit-Zoom drauf. Mal schauen was ich wirklich noch brauche. Viele sonnige Grüße, Reinhold

I love my macro lens for the Fuji , love the colour of the dragonflies against the green.

  I currently review the first reports about the 90mm. Haven’t made up my mind yet. Have you seen the poor male guys on picture 2. Killed and slowly eaten up after reproduction. LOL. I don’t want to be a dragonfly.

Perhaps a achromatic macro filter would be more useful, it would magnify the image so it’s not needed to be closer to the subject, risking that it could just fly or jump. Our dragonflies are brown, they doesn’t have so many colors. Thanks, Reinhold.
