It was a nice day out today so I went to a park near my house and took a few quick snaps with my KIRON 105mm F2.8 MACRO.
These were all shot on a Pentax APS-C dslr at F8 and various shutter speeds. Some are very close up, some near infinity.
It seems to perform well enough to not bother searching for something to replace it for now.

I dont have and have always wanted the SMC PENTAX-A 100mm F2.8 Macro, but it cant be much better than this one and it costs $1000 now, which I dont have. I think Im gonna just have to settle for this one.

BTW, that last photo, the one of the leaves, had so much contrast from the lens and scene that even the RAW file overloaded (too much dynamic range ).

Thanks for the links. Those are some great insect shots. Obviously I didnt get anywhere near that magnifiction on any of these samples. There was a big spider I could have shot if It wasnt out of reach ( about 5 feet over the railing). Maybe next time I will rack the lens all the way out to 1:1 and see what I can find to shoot.

Thomas |
When I got this lens, from a flea market, it came with a funky ring flash with a control box and dial settings. It didnt work. But from
what I see on the blue ring, it was a "quick set" exposure system controlling the flash power and giving f stop settings for a given magnification/working distance. I was tempted to remove the blue ring from the lens but Im afraid it might end up looking worse than it does with it on there, so I just leave it in place. Its useless as it is now.

Its not too much of a pity, I got the broken ring flash and lens for a grand total of $40

You got it damn cheap, but a complete working set would be even better. It is a nice set.

It may have worked nice, but it didnt look nice. The control box looked almost home made it was so
crude.

Well, sorry to pour some water into that wine but I find these results pretty disappointing, the contrast is low, the whites often blown out and the overall appearance of images rather bland. Could that be a camera issue?
That lens is a pretty good performer, I have it too, so I really wondered what happened here...

I wouldnt say the contrast is low, the histograms were fully wide. some shots could not be converted from
raw to jpeg without losing highlights while maintaining midtones ( two flower shots ). There was a problem
the dynamic range exceeding what the camera was capable of because some shots are of bright sunlit items
with deep shade as the background. My dslr is six years old and doesnt have the capture dynamic range as
some more modern models....
