Tell us more about the Penagor 55mm Macro lens? ive recently heard about it as its supposed to be one of the sharpest.

Did you use an extension tube?

You can so, yes! Perfect shot, Iris, have never managed to make such detailed ones with perfect lighting!! Well done, congrats.

I have to try better to catch up....

You know who inspired me

But thanks for the compliments!

You know I shot these out of frustration, because you took a lot of macro pictures that day and I did not have the time to try

I love my Panagor macro 55mm F/3.
This one is a manual M42 lens. I have to focus wide open and then use the a/m switch to close the diaphragm. The only disadvantage is I always need both hands.

I used an extension tube on that second picture!

Yes real close!
But luckily my model was very cooperative

Superb Iris ! Really wonderful. What is your flash set-up because you must have been using one to shoot at F16 !
