The Meritar is a triplet I think - or maybe a tessar type.
How well does it perform in the close-up image making?

I will find out later how it works out, I got the lens and tubes yesterday from an event (as well as a A Schacht 3.5/35 and a Pentax 2.8/2Cool

It did focus pretty closely, but it was too late to setup a nice macro subject. I even have to clean the lenses.

Tom, I looked it up, it is indeed a triplet:

Hopefully it can give some wild artifacts on out-of-focus objects Whoo Turtle

I had to google it, but indeed Laughing

Made a quick snap of some thyme on my balcony. It's not the most practical setup for macro due to the very short focusing distance, but hey, it's fun!

Shot at f4 because I needed the light to keep the shutter speed fast enough. With a slightly shorter extension, I can imagine some funky close-ups with this lens.

Another combination that I found pleasing to look at:

Meyer Optik Görlitz Orestegon 29mm f/2.8 & Pentax K100D

We have a word here: "tastes good said the ape and bit into the soap", meaning it is all rather relative Wink
