In this case, I did not see the assassin, but I had shot about three frames,
then shifted my camera to reveal more stem. I looked back during the editing
and he hadn't revealed himself, maybe he was on the move at the same time I
was. I also was shooting from about four feet away with the fifty five, so he
was pretty small in the frame.
I'm usually looking for composition and good bokeh, and trying to get at least
something in focus. When I'm out with the 90 macro, I see more detail, but
then when I'm shooting for detail, I use the 90. Snake eating his tail, so to
speak. If I was shooting with a glass vf, I also would never have seen that
bug, as I was working quickly, and not on a tripod.

So, I am wondering about the last part of the sentence. Way back when I
first bought a digital camera with an EVF, I took a photo of some nicely
sunset lit power lines. When I got them on the computer much to my amazement
I saw a hawk nicely perched on the top of the pole that I never saw in the
viewfinder. Not the sole example. I have many shots where I found an
insect, or some spider web in the photo that I never saw through the EVF. I
never would have missed them in the viewfinder of my R8 or my Rollei SL-35.
So, my question is do you find that often? Things that appear on the
computer that you did not see in the camera viewfinder? I have been looking
at smaller cameras as I get older, as I do a lot of hiking and it is starting
to be a chore to carry around a full frame DSLR and the lenses. But I have
not found a camera with a good enough EVF. They are all disturbing to me to
look through. Too artificial. I have tried all the Sony cameras, and even a
few APC size. Fuji has been the best by far. The absolute best so far has
been the Leica Q, but no interchangeable lenses, or even a fixed zoom, but
that one looked very “normal” to me. Yet to try an SL, but I am sure it will
tip the scales way more than my current system. I need lighter if I am going
to make this move.

I found this Spathoglottis plicata ( Ground Orchid) in Adreen's garden this
week, and after I shot it noticed the assassin nymph, which added to the
Mardi Gras color!
