I've started to rigorously put the newest addition to the photographic toolkit—a refurbished 85mm Nikkor micro lens—through its paces, and I think, if the refurbishment proves as expert as I've experienced with similar lenses in the past, I'm going to be exceedingly happy with this additional entry point into the macro world. Since I didn't get much of a chance to walk anywhere today, I opted for a photo trek around the backyard... in between pushing my grand-daughter on the swings... and I noticed that the Chickweed patch is beginning to bloom in the garden. Of course, in a few weeks, when I start planting seeds, this overly exuberant weed is going to have to be removed, but right now, it's a sign of how nature is so ready, willing, and able to get going with the growing season. Unlike the showier blossoms on the flower garden plants—the aconites, crocuses, primroses, and hellebores, among others—the Chickweed has tiny blooms, each barely a quarter-inch across. These make a fine test target for the micro lens, and I'd definitely give this "answer" a high grade for color and clarity.
