A set of extension tubes, here used with my SMC Takumar 55/1.8



Btw, the tubes cost me EUR 5,- and I got a Praktica Super TL3 for free Laughing

congrats! i love this lens.

you can use the praktica as a tube holder! Embarassed
joke aside... if it still works, this would give a nice coalition.

It does, it even still had a working battery, and the light meter is OK. Of course the foam seal needs to be replaced, but that is a minor task.

Oh, 5 euros was for the tubes and the Praktica, not for the lens! (that one has cost me 25 euros).

I love the soft curves and delicate shading in the rose.

I've been enjoying the extension tubes that I received recently as well.

I look forward to seeing more from you!

This is with extension tubes. Without the tubes, it's not a macro lens.

Good shots!

Is it the SMC or the S-M-C? I've had both and there's not much between them. S-M-C I kept as I liked more.

I would have to look.

But you surely recognize this Smile



Edit: it's the S-M-C.

Love the shot of the red pepper! (I'm guessing that's what it is, lol).
