Still pretty boring outside, a few emerging plants. Pics are taken with
the 2.8/100 Trioplan + #2 Zeiss extension tube:
assorted plants:
oak leaf in rain barrel:
azalea leaves budding out:
Hope to be shooting with the Helios 40 at some nice flowers in a few
weeks!

Attila, too kind, but while the rest of the gang is getting their eyes washed
out with soap and recalibrated, I should say these are just some more

Wow! I especially love the Azalea leaves showing their "fuzz". Nice indeed! I sure do love to see macro type images. I need a lot of practice with a macro lens before I will find anything worth putting up.

Thanks, Richard, Simon, and Chris for your comments.
Hooper, thanks for your comment, it could be both camera shake and
a little wind. This was in the afternoon and I had already drank a couple
mugs (no demitasse cups for me!) of beyond Starbucks-strength coffee
using a wonderful invention called the "Aeropress".
Thanks again, guys, let's all keep clicking!

Well done Bill. I'm impressed with the depth of field in No 1, I can never get anything like that with my close-up shots. Is it due to using the 100mm lens? I'll have to try that.
Your kind of Oak leaf is interesting - it's completely different to our native Oak leaves here:

Peter your oak leaf definitely has more indentations to it than the one
I have in my front yard. The acorns look almost identical, though.
Do try your 100mm lenses with the tubes, I think you'll like it. #1 the
subject depth was maybe 2 inches, as everything was lying flat on the
ground.
Here's one shot today using the Auto Sears (Tomioka) 55/1.4 lens with
#2 Zeiss tube:
Shot it again more than an hour later with I think better light at either
f5.6 or f8 (getting darker outside).
This has been a learning experience in perceived focus and compromises
made when dealing with narrow DOF.
Probably have a little camera shake in this too, looking at the tip of
the largest leaf (which is <1 inch long) but finally captured the texture
of the waxy leaf this time. I've tried this same clump of leaves with
different lenses, but this is the first one I've liked. Shot at f11, 1st pic.
Which one is better? My choice is the 2nd.

I'm finding close-up work very much a challenge (albeit an enjoyable one) getting shutter speeds to cope with a slight breeze whilst maintaining a small enough aperture to get enough depth as well as using a low enough ISO not to obscure that fine detail isn't easy!
You've done a great job here, and reminded me I've got a set of tubes somewhere...
