Dancing Orchid Sisters - a photo on Flickriver

            Made by Vivitar Series 1 28-105mm 2.8-3.8 VMC 67mm filter ring Macro Focusing Zoom

I stepped out into my garden and was surprised by these dark orchids emerging from a plant I've neglected for many years. That gave me the idea to look through my lens cabinet for something appropriate to capture them. Voila! Since I've turned to primes mostly, this Vivitar S1 lies dormant, practically new, as one of the first macro zooms in my bag. Another surprise: It renders beautifully; and its main virtue is the ability to get close, really close, to within an inch of your subject. I rediscovered two gems on the same day.
