I've been feeling a little bit uninspired to go out and take pictures lately... even at family events, I haven't taken my camera with me like I used to. Part of that is my wife always saying "again with the camera? don't we have enough pictures already?"...
M 50 1.4 wide open:
So today I wanted to relax a bit and instead of focusing on composition (which I should be doing so I don't rely on bokeh so much to make my pictures look interesting), I just took the inverter ring out and mounted an M 28 3.5
and took the old dependable AF280T flash with a folded piece of paper taped to the top, and kinda shaped to make the flash light go towards the subject. Sometimes that worked, sometimes I had to sort of hold the paper in funny positions to get the subjects lit. Still, more fun than I've had lately.
I've read that the magnification with this setup is about 3:1 (that is for inverted 30mm but some say the Pentax 28mm lenses are really 30mm).
Here's a small Abelia bush flower:
