Both were taken with the on-board flash at waning sunset.
This is a difficult lens to use for close up work.
It's a tiny shade on the soft side as well.
I may get away with stopping down a bit more I think.
Incidentally, the focus confirmation icon seems to work with this a bit- especially when the flash is in use.
I can't get this 2nd image to upload in the upright position.
The forum insists on laying it on it's side

Here's a couple of more with the old 85.
ISO 400, 1/60 sec at f1.8.
Working at sunset like this does have it's speed challenges.
I think I'll go back to the flower shots with the 55 micro or wider.
The 85 is a bit long for DX format, and critical focus hand-held that close in is difficult to master.
ISO 400, 1/160 sec at f2.

Some corner crops from full frame:
At infinity at f1.8.
At infinity at f5.6
Backlighting:
Crop showing purple fringing in strong back-lighting at f1.8
Same backlighting with different composition at f5.6...
Uncropped, re-size only.
I really need to be using a tripod for these funny little tests.
As usual, hand-held with the resulting composition differences.

It looks pretty good stopped down, but disappointing at 1.8.
