First Floral Macro Work with Zeiss S-Planar 60/2.8 C

So I am very happy with the 60/2.8 C. Both the 60/2.8 and 2.8 C are stellar lenses but I have a much easier tome hand-holding the C.
This isn't my best set ever but some decent images IMHO.




















Detail of above image.
All shot on a Canon 60D.

Whenever I see Kram's postings, I know I'm in for a treat of macro
images! No exception here. All are truly very very good. I would say
that, if I was judging, the 3rd shot of the closed flower would knock
my socks off! Shocked

Excellent work indeed! I never got too enthusiastic about the "C" version as it only does 1:2

Oh yeah, this is what I am talking about! Some of the pictures are already all time favorites in flower macros. Congratulations on the hardware and the hands that maneuver it =)

Beautiful color, nice and sharp. What camera are you using and how old is the lens,?.

Thanks for all of the nice comments everyone.
Smile

bendle, they were shot on a Canon 60D. The lens is made in Japan, serial number 74414xxx. I have no idea how old that makes it. Anyone?

CA, that's a high compliment! Much appreciated.

Laurence, thank you. I had a pretty decent shoot yesterday. Will post tomorrow. Still waiting for my extension tubes. Trying to get all I can out of summer before the long gray winter blows in.

kds315*, I hear you. The ease of hand holding is most important to me. I will be selling my 60/2.8 non-C soonish!

WOW Very Happy
Reaaly good job, Mark !!!
When I saw #4, I said to myself "great, here we are again for a wonderful serie". They are colourful, very contrasty and sharp. Did you apply any PP ? Compositions are really fine.

Tervueren and Dionysus, thanks guys. Smile

Olivier, thanks very much!
Very minimal PP. That's one of many things I love about this lens. I'm excited about my floral macro series. Plan on staying at it while summer lasts!
