_DSC9710

            It is really an odd shrub.  I only see these near the border of two nearby prefectures of mine.  It is usually growing near Kuju or Aso mountains. 

BTW, I was shocked at how unsharp these images come up out of the camera.  These images especially this one and right behind this image were super soft.  It was not something I have been used to seeing in the recent years. 

Then, I realized that these two images were shot with my FE24-105mmf4GOSS, which I am selling soon. I never realized that this lens is this soft.  I think it is not very bad in the landscape focus range, but in near close-up or MFD range it is super soft like this.  I should have never used this lens for this sort of shootings here.  But I was with my friends, and I had to shoot everything with one lens and for that very purpose I still kept my old so-called convenience zoom. 

But I think I just could not accept this soft image from that lens, and I think I will sell it and FE16-35mm f4G PZ that I recently bought back.  I think I will just keep the FE16-35mm f2.8GM as my only one zoom and sell all the rest of my zooms.
