[Leica] Friday Flowers (actually Saturday leaves)

[kanner at acm.org (Herbert Kanner)]

Enjoyed you non-flower display.

May I make a suggestion. On your first picture, the leftmost leaf is 
out of focus; this was probably not intended. The small depth of 
field using a 90mm lens surprised me at first, and the engraved DOF 
scale on the lens is practically useless at short distances. 
Photographing flowers, I found that one petal would be sharp and 
another fuzzy.

My PDA has a DOF application and I found that for close ups f/8 gave 
me a few inches DOF, adequate to insure a sharp flower and still 
throwing the background out of focus.

Cheers,

Herb
