Close-ups & near macro shots

[jachol]

Hi Everyone,

I've had little opportunity to use the K100D lately, since I got floored by food poisoning recently, which laid me low for most of the last month ... I'm still a little shaky, but yesterday I spent some time dodging rain showers, and fighting poor light to try a few shots around my garden, trying various lenses. this was K100D + Chinon 50mm/1.7

More of the same setup ... slightly OOF I think

Another K100D + Chinon 50mm/1.7. I tried all the same shots with the Russian Industar-61 L/Z-MC 50mm/2.8, but the better low light performance of the Chinon won out this time.

Now a couple of near macro shots using a Pentacon 50mm/1.8 stacked on a Panagor S mount Macro converter, this wasn't helped by the poor light

Seems I got hit by the double post bug !. Last one I like this best ... Jack.

Wonderful, vivid colors. They should help feel you better. Thanks for posting them.

Ouch, that sounds like a nasty bout, glad you are feeling better. That Chinon lens looks like a keeper, those are some sharp shots.
