At the risk of seeming like Johnny One-Note, I figured I'd share this image I captured this morning. The mimosa tree in the front yard was practically dripping with butterflies, and I couldn't resist the urge to improve on my last shot. Still using the same setup ( K-x, Asahi Takumar Bayonet [Taiwan] 135mm f/2.5, 2X teleconverter, 1/4000, ISO 400). I do tend to like strong color saturation, so I readily concede the point if it seems a bit much, and it is pretty soft. But, I do like the vibrancy.

What would be the best investment as far as the more readily available, older manual focus primes? Any thoughts?
