Wild spring flowers with Leotax leonon 50mm f/2

[rosko]

Inspired by Toby (Marshall, a NG member), and saw several pics on flickr, I finelly found a leonon 50mm f/2 with a L39 mount on ebay Japan.

With about 1 meter of closest working distance, I had to pull the lens with devices in order to get closer from these flowers. So I used the Z/M42 adapter plus a M42.M39 ring adapter, which is about 15mm between the lens and the Z6.

# Blue bell (Hyacinthoides hispanica)

You can notice some bubbles, at f/2, having the shape of the diaphragm which is unusual : each blade has a convex curve !

Thanks for looking
Francis.

Really nice, and an interesting lens, Francis!

Yes interesting lens, with slight turning bokeh !

Planning to make some street photography with it, but for the moment, I am lacking subjects except queues outside supermarkets...

Thanks, Bruno !
