One I have just taken with a lens found an hour ago in an old camera case - it is a 55mm Nippon Kogaku f3.5 f32 with its Nippon extender all on a Nikon Z6 - ambient light - the lens is a before the second world version.

Great shot I too have a 70-200 f2.8 - what was the distance between you and the subject

Finally got a proper macro lens: 1:1 Fuji 80mm 2.8.
Now learning. Darkroom photography is the hardest.
This shot came out interestingly - the mirror image has more true to life colors.

That's from film? Very nice indeed.

Been shooting with Sigma's 70mm Macro f2.8 recently, and really been enjoying the sharpness.

Shot today with Fuji X-H1 + Super Takumar 85/1.8 (1970s lens) + macro tube.

Very interesting to see a macro image done with the Super Takumar 85mm 1,8 . Takumars were always the best lenses for the money, they are not inferiors to any others. the earlier Takumars were nicer that the later SMC versions

I think Taks are one of the best M42 lenses. 85/1.8 feels almost modern, so good.

I don't think much can touch early Takumar lenses for the price. I've got a growing collection of them. They're built like tanks and are as smooth as silk!!!

To continue the Takumar theme, I just went outside and took this.
Olympus E-M10 Mark II, Asahi Pentax Extension Tube and a rare 50+ year old Auto-Takumar 35mm f2.3 lens.
