My Zinnia Experiment was only mildly successful. The 70-180 micro produces beautifully saturated (sometimes oversaturated) images. My saturation issues can also be attributed to not using a polarizer lens. Thankfully, I purchased one after this adventure.
Zinnia Trio images taken two days apart. Notice the development of the zinnia in the lower left corner between June 21st and June 23rd!
