Flora A Couple Flowers

[RyanB]

Just received a vintage m42 Super-Multi-Coated Macro Takumar 50/f4 lens as a anniversary gift from the missus and decided to give it a go on a couple flowers I bought 'for her'...

Both stacked for added dof but very little processing other than that. Not bad for 50 year old glass, I would hazard a guess its almost as sharp as my much more modern Sigma 150mm macro lens even if a touch more difficult to use with the manual focus and aperture.

Sorry. I thought that I had posted it on the open thread.

Sorry. I thought that I had posted it on the open thread.

No worries, didn't realise there was an open thread for flowers. Is it in the macro/ close up section and I've missed it?

Flowers - an open thread.

HAPPY NEW YEAR ! Perhaps a little late for my Christmas rose, but I don't have a New Year rose ... ;) :

No worries Ryan.
Most people stick to a couple of forums that they are comfortable with,
But if you explore, you will find there are many open threads on various subjects.

Mostly HERE
and HERE
