I received my used 105mm 2.8 manual focus today, and man!! am I having fun. I seem to be having trouble loading more than one image.

Very nice, I like shooting dandelions too. Wow, what camera were you using with that lens?

I use a Nikon D3200. I know it's "entry level" but it's given me countless hours of being aware of, and appreciating what's around me. Love it!

Its a terrific composition. I think you pushed it to the limits with that high iso and f22 shooting at 1/500th, so even though its somewhat deteriorated you have a really nice shot.

I would just say that with different camera settings the picture would look a lot different when viewing the download. Could have been the wind was blowing and you felt you needed a really fast shutter speed. I see the two seeds on the right that you froze in flight. I think that setting made sense because otherwise they might have been blurred. I think that they contribute a great deal. I have not used that lens but I have to think that it is capable of producing very sharp images. At F22 Im certain something had to be in sharp focus, so I consider that at that aperture there is a very good chance some lens diffraction has happened.

I don't know the camera either, but in my experience with four canon bodies, and my tendency to shoot in very low lighting, that the degradation is acceptable to a point, usually lower than the 2800 ISO in this shot. So the F stop could have been F 11 without sacrificing your depth of field, allowing for an ISO of 800. Thats at a minimum. F 8 might work even better, with ISO 400. As I say I don't know about your specific camera's behavior, so I don't know where the best results are in that balance.
