Absolutely, positively, beautiful! Christian! You don't need any other stinkin' cameras* or lenses! The softness and layers of thee petals, the interior... I feel as though I'm right there, drinking in this flower's beauty and perfume.
Many thanks for your appreciation and the reference to the film! You are right that I should be happy with what I already have and I am happy with it. Yet I am still looking forward to get the Leica 60mm macro this week. I hope it is fine because I want to use the 60mm for photographing flowers and the 100mm for photographing insects. Both lenses together cost about the same as the Nikon 60mm macro I returned and I gain two different lenses for two different applications.
It is funny that I needed the Nikon D5100 and the bad copies of lenses to find the joy with my Olympus gear again. I would have switched systems, if the Nikon lenses had been better. The moment I got so enthusiastic with the gear I already own was when I saw the shots I took with my Leica Summicron 50mm and the E-PL1 in the botanical garden. I was not prepared for the image quality I get from this combination.
