This lens is very small (and very cheap!) and can provided some realy good results for macro works!
Here some first samples with this lens mounted on M42 macro rings (about 10cm), all with flash+bounce :
(all pict are about 50% cropped, post-processed especialy for the background, little sharpness after resizing...)

What do you mean by " bounce"?
I can understand flash on a macro picture - I use it - but bounce? From what?
What's the contraption that you used?
Jeez, a lot of questions Very Happy

by "bounce", I mean this:

that's exactly what I used for all my macro Very Happy

ok, no bounce at all, just a diffuser.

And since those lenses can also be used on a NEX for regular shots, it might be that the prices are still rising...

Only with a focusing rail (since they do not have helicoid)
