Photos from Nikon's Microphotography Challenge are amazing! "Science is Art", as Arstechnica says:

Two samples:


A close up of the spore-producing structures in a fern.


One of three images from David Maitland, all showing details of plant tissues. This one is a close up of the vascular bundles of a papyrus plant.

Lots more at the link.

^that is one sharp lens... and is cheaper than 70-200 f2.8

looking to consider sigma over nikon 70-200 f2.8.

[dean]

kung 3rd party daw, tamron > sigma as far as the 70-200 f/2.8 is concerned

Canon's EOS-R and new RF-system lenses are announced:

Interesting that the new RF 24-70 L is about the same size as the old EF mount L but is now f/2.0. I guess that's the benefit of mirrorless. Oh and the kit lens seems to be a 24-105 f/4 L
