Title: My UV-Nikkor 105mm finally at work again...
Post by: Dr Klaus Schmitt on June 26, 2022, 17:14:46: My "work horse" lens at work again after quite a break....

A Rudbeckia hirta from my balcony shot with the trusted UV-Nikkor 4.5/105mm at f11 using a modified Xenon Studio flash as well as some special filters.

Haven't done much due to Covid restrictions (glad I never got it though!!), beginning again... ;-)

Post by: Erik Lund on June 28, 2022, 09:42:10: The lens is such a great performer in seemingly all wavelengths, extremely well defined images, even in this web representation!

Yep, indeed Erik, cannot agree more. Hence why I always have several here, down to just two now... ;)

Post by: MEPER on August 03, 2022, 19:07:30: Who did the printing of the images?
It is ink on paper?
Was it perfect first time? :-)

Post by: Dr Klaus Schmitt on August 16, 2022, 08:45:53: Thanks guys!

Those prints were done on alu-dibond, I have done that and museums have done that, too.

Post by: Dr Klaus Schmitt on August 27, 2022, 10:43:01: Btw.this is PORTULACA in human vision, reflected UV, sim. bee and butterfly vision (left to right, top to bottom) shot with same UV-Nikkor 105mm lens + studio flash; pretty plant but its leafs also tastes rather fresh in a salad ;)
