My cactus in black and white

Olympus EPM2 Tokina EL 28mm 2.8 This lens was bought from eBay for a low price. I think it was something like $25. I really like it even though it focuses well beyond infinity. It a manual lens so that doesn't matter.

Cactus flowers are always so bizarre---this plant that is so thorny and ugly most of the time puts out such a lovely flower. That lens is working well for you.
