impressive quality!
your jpg are over compressed, only 40kb, many details are lost
is this the full frame or a crop ?
on the last one, I see some blur, is it wind or are the bugs moving Rolling Eyes

Samples from this lens are consistently superb - like these. What camera?

@poilu
Largely agree - would be nice to see full size raw

The cam is an Oly E-500. Here another example, better compressed. No crops.

My Kiron made Lester Dine 105 stays on my camera more than any other lens...Most of the shots on my Flickr stream (bugs & flowers) were taken with this lens...Here's a link for those who might want to look...

VERY nice lens!...Heck, I'd put that one up against any 105mm I've seen yet.

I had Nikkor 105mm f2.8 Macro I rated higher than Kiron, but Kiron has built in macro 1:1 so I kept Kiron and sold Nikkor.
