Nurkov,

I have the same lens but can't go so close, what did you use for macro?

with this picture nothing it's naked glass and full frame no crop, this lens has quite close focus of 0.33 m. Maybe it depends on a version mine is Pentacon auto 1.8/50 Multi Coating. It looks like that:

Looks good to me. It does focus close for a 50, doesn't it?

Took some shots, and barely as close as yours but wait: the last Canon i had was also a 7D and the crop factor was 1.6... Or, otherwise you shoot a giant flower. Laughing

I'll download the images i took later and post here. The M42 copy i have here is almost the same as yours, i own also 2 more in PB mount, which i'll try also for the near-macro-hidden function,

here is the same flower taken from 1.8m witk mitakon 135mm F2.8 so you can get a scale of it Smile
And yes as for the 50mm is focusing really close, really nice and under rated lens.

On the other hand when you use macro tubes you get something like that, taken at F11 with pentacon Smile full frame no crop
