Very cool shot. It almost looks like VR because of how close you are with a 35mm focal length.

I only bought the RF 35 f1.8 because it was ridiculously cheap in an offer on Amazon. Now I love it and keep it on my R5 most of the time. A cracking little lens and so light.

I like the bokeh balls (shot wide open):

Thanks! The moths are actually too soft in that one, but I thought it was a good example of the perspective this lens gives for close-ups.

Here are two more. First one is a 35mp crop from the R5. EXIF says focus distance was 260mm (10.2in). The lens will focus closer, but getting closer to moving bugs is hard.

This one is uncropped from 290mm.

Hi Terry. Glad you made it over. It was actually some of your shots on POTN that got me to try it up close.

That's great. It's good to be here with so many old familiar names. Your moth pics are brilliant, by the way. What a super little lens it is..
