Flowers with Meyer Optik Gorlitz Primotar 135mm F3.5

A few floral shots I wanted to share with my Meyer Optik Gorlitz Primotar 135mm F3.5 and my new Fuji X-E2.

















Enjoy.


Roger,

Impressive work and a steady hand!

I love this line of lenses. I have one "descendant", the Super Multicoated Coated Takamar 135mm f2.5, with 8 leaves in the diaphragm as opposed to the 9 in your lens. I use mine on the Sony A7R with an helical focus adapter allowing for macro work.

Are these full frame?

Admittedly, the XE II is already superb with a1.5 X multiplication factor to be equivalent to just10 degree of view, Is that all you're using to get the great magnification here?

These were on the Fuji , so it's a crop. I used a couple large tubes to get closer than normal. Allows for better subject isolation and more importantly on this lens precise focus.

Tubes are a great idea! Just have to find my old Pentax one with the M42 thread! The helical mount is pretty damn good at abou 2"!

Are these all handheld?
