Very very nice, Klaus!
Is this enlarger lens?

[kds315*]

It was used once as taking and enlarging lens I guess. Never found documents about it.

It is quite sensitive to flare though under certain situations, so has to be handled with care.

Great shots. I'm trying to play more in this length, but my current lens has been disappointing.
I particularly like the single red berry.

Thanks, this is a berry from a yew tree http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxus_baccata

You could also try a Rodagon or Componon in that length, both very good.

Looks excellent, I do like dialytes. One tip for people wanting one - the Kodak Enlarging Ektar 100mm/4 inch is a dialyte and an excellent one. Common and cheap.

BTW Klaus, is this Helioplan in shutter or one of the barrel ones? I have an old uncoated 120mm Helioplan but it's just cells and they don't fit a standard #0 shutter, sadly.
