Hi Shel The purple tint must come from a little flash underexposure or the Canon scanner 9900f during scan. The scanner needs a random recalibration when using the supplied twain modul for unknown reason, otherwise I get an ugly red and blue tint. With Vuescan it's a lot better but Vuescan does not recognise the negative size automatically for batch processing.
On the other side, peacock feathers do change the colour from green to blue and others if you turn them in the light. Very fascinating.... I'm quite happy with the sharpness, should I expect a lot more from that lens? I'm not used to macro photography yet, that was one of the first shots, maybe I nedd to focus better :-) thanks for commenting Markus RE: PESO:peacocks eye Pentax Macro lens 50mm Hi Markus, The pic doesn't look particularly sharp, colors look a little washed out, and what's with all the purple fringing?
