Very very nice! Well lit, well composed, and very sharp at least at this viewing magnification.

Hi there Rudi,
Very well executed. Love the colors and the tight composition.

Thanks for sharing

That is really good at 100%. I'm excited to see how well this finite lens performs when stacked on the Makro-Symmar.

Impressive!

As said before, I can not compare with other objectivs in this range, but I like it !! I am the limiting factor here, its all I can squeeze out right now

I wonder what is the magnification?

Edit: I see Robert got 3.7 x with the Lomo on this Makro-Symmar. I wonder if that was with the Makro-Symmar focussed at infinity or focused in such a way as to achieve 3.7x? I assume the latter. Maybe you did the same thing? Or maybe you used the Makro-Symmar focused at infinity?

Hi Lou,
the magnification is 3,65x to be more precise !

I focused the Makro-Symmar on a distant object, which was about 50 m away, and this gives me a magnification from 3,65x.
I have not tried any other configurations as off yet, but that's on my 'to do' list...

Awaiting some 'new arrivals' , I played a bit with this NOS..., with a little bonus this time. Maybe I should have gone wider, or closer, well next time...

After stacking the last viola's, I spotted some transparant girder like 'structures' on the flowers. My initial guess was that these are just broken off parts from the little 'spikes', but thats probably to easy an answer...., I have not yet taken any higher magnification shots, hence the 100% crop. Iff someone can shed a light on this, please do tell! Thanks.

Very nice Rudi, very good image ... unfortunately I have no idea what these small structures are, but they are very interesting ...
