Tree peony by Hologon 16mm.

[rawhead]

So, I got my Pentax K-7 a couple days ago. A few flower pics shot with the Tamron SP 90mm f2.5 macro I got from no-x, and the Voigtländer Apo-Lanthar 180mm f4 that I got (and sent out to a couple of members here.... finally get to use it myself!!!)








The above two with the Tammy








These two with the Apo-Lanthar






And the last is the blasphemous shot; Pentax DA* 60-250mm F4

Hexi, the mix of colors is great !

[hexi]

Thanx all i had full sun for this one, it could be better @f8 but hey.

As for the last pictures, i like the bee ( n°4 ) . its a great addition to a flower pic. makes me wonder that maybe a macro lens would be worth trying

[xjjohnno]

just a tiny little flower this one.

[Nesster]

ooh, aah! the k-7 looks good!
and the tinly little flower: so wonderfully delicate!

[Olivier]

Hexi,
The "blasphemous shot", which is superb, was not taken with a macro lens.
Sometimes you can take great close shots with 200mm or even longer.

Rawhead, these are great shots.

Here's a few more I found in my files...

I guess I'll finally put one here. So many beautiful pictures here.

Finally got a bright sunny day after about 4 weeks of rain. Very nice in the high 70s

Thanks Ron.
After Maine's landscapes and lakes, what a beautiful flower.
Nice contrast.

Spiralcity,
What lens did you use, especially for this ant ?

Koji, I never heard about Holgon 16mm. Have you a photo of your lens ?

[Orio]

[Katastrofo]

Some more excellent shots! Ron, love the detail and colors in that shot! The
Tak for not being a macro, certainly didn't let you down.

[Sven]

A lot of great captures here.

A small contribution from me, taken recently with the Helios 44-2.

A wild orchid


And a domesticated one




This one might have been taken with the Flek. I'm not quite sure.

[Schnauzer]

Thanks Olivier and Bill.

That last one is just beautiful Koji.

[koji]

All the last serie is superb but pic n°7 is the best for me. Some may think a flower is a very easy subject to shoot, but watching some of the pix here its rather amazingly looking

[shadows]

koji, #3 and 8 for me

A few more...

Jupiter 37A MC 3.5/135mm


Olympus Zuiko 1.4/50mm


Tamron 2.5/28mm


Pentax SMC 2.8/28mm

[Nesster]

Damn, Koji, that's an awesome series.
Shadows, the Jup is awesome, I like the gone to seed view.

Here's yet something different - vintage camera shots with expired Fuji 160NPS (thanks Orio!)... cameras doing what they weren't necessarily designed to.

First, the 1933 Rollfilmkamera with Skopar. I think I need to adjust the spacing of the first 2 elements on the lens to collimate it properly... don't get a good infinity.


Then, an honest photo - the flowers were in the shade, so this is what they looked like. Diacord Rikenon, INDIA brand +1 close up filter:



Last, a b&w conversion of a Bessa I Vaskar shot - the yellow tulips just burned the film or scan it seems. Fuji 160C. This was also a bokeh test shot with a larger aperture than I'd otherwise use with this lens. There's a bit of depth behind them tulips.

[shadows]

Thanks Nesster!

[Carlsson]

#2 is great Koji!
All the other images are too, good job guys.
