Great shot, the EXIF file reports a 55 mm lens F1.0 aperture, what lens are we using here?

Thanks guys. I was using the Vivitar 55mm 2.8 Macro OM mount that I converted to PK. Right now I am only shooting wide open with it because I haven't locked down the aperture button on it. I could hold it down with my thumb, but it's kinda awkward that way.

Nice shot. Will you be able to complete the conversion? I have a few wide open flower shots I took hanging on the wall, because my wife liked them. They are a bit abstract.

Really like this one soft. It is really nice and sharp on the bug and the soft flower accentuates the insect.
