Went into forest today to shoot some nice nature. Taken with Pentacon 29mm and my shitty tripod.
One macro shot with Helios 44M-4 and Vivitar extension tubes.
Had a hard time getting the blob of water in focus. Had to hold my tripod when tilting so my camera wouldn't fall face down. |

Thanks for your kind words. I will take more forest shots tomorrow if the weather is right. It has been a lot of rain the last few days. |

Bra jobbat 
Nice shots. I have this lens and now that it's actually quit hard to use in forest, at least when I tried in march (not much light then on the other hand).
I liked that you made the stocks a major part in the composition, you avoided something I'm always afraid of with this type of shots in swedish forest - a green mess. But thanks to the structure of the dark stocks in contrast to the light on the moss, it holds the pictures together well. Very nice.

Tackar!
I haven't used another wide-angle lens in the forest so I can't make any comparison. I know my Pentacon is sharper than the Nikon equivalent (28mm), but I might have a good copy of the Pentacon or a bad copy of the Nikon. I really like this lens, except for the extreme flares it sometimes produces.
I had to lower the saturation (and raise contrast and blacks) a little bit in Lightroom because the camera/lens seems to often exaggerate the green in mosses for some reason. |
