I was looking for something to photograph recently and found a small wildflower apparently called "herb Robert". The flower is around 15 mm fully opened and 3-4 mm closed.
Because I had never looked at it up close before (and I don't know a lot about flowers in general) I was really fascinated by the details it revealed under closer inspection. While I took a couple more, here are four different shots with four different lenses:
Noritsu 71-111 mm f/4.5-5.6 (varifocal minilab lens)
Just a handful… by simple.joy, on Flickr
Carl Zeiss Dokumar 38 mm f/5.6 (focus stack of 3 images)
That‘s gotta be fake… by simple.joy, on Flickr
Noritsu 66-116 mm f/7-9.4 (varifocal minilab lens)
Looking back on it I don‘t know its color… by simple.joy, on Flickr
Kodak Ektamat G 17.6 mm (no idea what this lens is for) (focus stack of around 20 images)
Fine for fans of flowery fangs? by simple.joy, on Flickr
The last lens clearly isn't ideal for that type of magnification, so I still have to figure out where it does better.
