There are not too many cheap 75mm lenses around that will focus to under 2 feet (0.6m) with very decent IQ.
Bronica Zenzanon can be used on most DSLR's with adapter.
It even has a deeply recessed front element that is shielded by the lens barrel in a kind of built-in lens hood kind of way.
Here are some image taken today to show its abilities.

Outstanding Tom Smile

Very nice colors and looks sharp as a tack

What camera did you use and what mount if I may ask.

Regards,

Gavin

Thank you Kryss and Gavin.
The 2.8/75 was the standard lens for the Bronica ETR, ETRS and ETRSi.
It came in at least three varieties that I know of and maybe more - the 2.8/75 MC, 2.8/75 EII and 2.8/75 PE.
Mine is the EII.
The PE is said to have the best coatings.
The adapter is a cheap Chinese ETR to Nikon AI fitting and I used it on the Nikon D300
The lens is not highly sought after on Ebay because it is so common - since it was a standard lens on every ETR type Bronica.
Here is my setup

Nice lens you got there! Is that a mango plant in the last image?

Thank you Minolfan and blotafton.
Yes that is a mango tree with some new growth.
This lens can show bubble bokeh as well
