    The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being.

    I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure.

I went for a modest hike today and took along my new 77D with the 24mm pancake lens. I wanted to see if this made a good lightweight hiking combo.

It was a cool, overcast day at Beacon Rock State Park. There were some nice wildflowers and the light was ideal for macro work. I was wishing I had a macro lens along, but I didn't, so the pancake lens was pressed into service. Here is a full frame image:

And here is a crop from that image:

After I got that shot, I happened to look closely at the lens and discovered the word MACRO on the side. I was pleasantly surprised.
