Three levels of Cosmos
This Cosmos was sitting in a small vase on the breakfast table this morning, and the window light was quite nice so I took the top picture. While doing so, some details looked interesting so I spent a little more time looking much closer.

Great!
Makes me feel like an insect that's visiting this flower/inflorescence: #1 sitting inside on the petals, #2: approaching the good stuff, #3: diving into the yummy pollen, a sea of all tones of orange and yellow. (Yup, I must be a rather small insect, let's imagine being a thrips
)
Now Charlie, you know about my inquisitiveness when it comes to equipment
:
Was #1 shot with the new Canon IS L macro lens? How do you like it?
Do you happen to have the serial-no. of the 28/4 Schneider at hand? (Just nosy to see what manufacturing age group your copy belongs to.)

Betty,
Not the new "L"... this is the previous version (USM). It's a very good lens. Pondered the new one a little, but a few comments I've seen from people who have both seem to be that the IS is great (as is the image quality) but the image quality difference alone may not be sufficient to make a lot of people switch. (Very anecdotal... so when the local rental shop gets one in I might give it a try).
My 28/4 is #113985435. So it was made sometime between Nov 1968 and July 1970. It has the older style mount (this one is black) which I greatly prefer. It has the most beautiful aperture mechanism, 15 blades. (Not that it matters too much... I often use it wide open at f4... but you just don't see something like that anymore).
