The secret life of plants

Nice photos.

What lens did you use.

I am thinking of either a low cost M42 macro lens or use a set of extension tubes.

I have a hellious m42 with an adapter that has the chip in it so I am thinking if I get the tubes to fit the m42 then at least I can shoot in A mode.

My understanding is with the cheap alpha tubes the camera will not see a lens so I will be in full manual mode. As well I can play with cheap m42 lenses.

The third and the second from the end were taken with the Zeiss 135, the rest are with the Minolta 100 mm macro. I haven´t tried any manual lenses. My eyes doesn´t seem to manage manual focus.

Thank you Bill!

Now, have you got any fading summer flowers to show us? And I don´t think it´s the blues of fall, as Michel suggested. I think it´s the joy of nature.

The plants no longer have secret lives. You've got wonderful detail in these photos. Really nice!
