Ready to Fly. K-5 and FA 100mm F2.8. Zerene 6 image stack. Xposted to Bokeh, except this version processed in Topaz Detail to smooth out ISO 800 image grain exaggerated by Zerene. Used JPG moderate setting with no loss of detail.

Ready to Fly

Thank you! I won't talk about price, but it was a steal under the electronic bay (likely a seller liquidating an estate)... It belonged to a person who I found started a radio station in South Carolina... cool stuff!

Hi, I received mine a few days ago from the US (Florida), I was waiting for an adapter ring, now I am quite astonished by the quality of such an ancient lens ... but seems to be handled with care

Nice! Did you use stacking to achieve this level of DoF?

Kiron 105mm

Came back with a tiny dragon fly. There is an art installation at Bernheim Forestry that is literally 3 giant trolls. I got lost on my way to the third one but I’d packed my DFA 100 macro. This critter was infinitely patient with me as I kept inching the lens closer and closer.

The Kiron / Lester Dine 105/2.8 macro is one of the all time greats.
