playing with old and new lenses

Good afternoon,

Not really good weather for my macro photography this morning, to much sunlight and to much wind, but never the less i did my #wednesdaywalk in the garden armed with my camera.

First thing i spotted the Scarlet lily beetle ( Lilioceris lilii ) eating from my crown imperial ( Fritillaria imperialis)

dandelion seeds

more dandelion seeds

okay one more with dandelion seeds

tiny crabspider on pink clematis flower

same crabspider

one more close up :)

Chrysolina americana / rosemary beetle eating from my rosemary plant

Time to swap lenses , and switch to the Minolta MC Rokkor 28mm + 16mm extension tube to see if that could get the same result as the
Laowa 15mm F/4 Wide Angle Macro that is still have on my wishllist 😁

The old lens does have some nice flairs

top of pen stll nice flairs against the sunlight :)

Viola flowers in the garden

very close to the tulip , wonder who has been eating that one

and the llittle crabspider is still where i left it on the pink clematus flower.

one more lens swap for today , the Vivitar 35-70mm lens these images are taken last night with the low evening sun.

and indeed it also has a nice flair

but also performs well in the shade

playing with evenming sun and flair

love these tulips with multiple flowers on each bulb

ok one more flair shot witht the tulips

Yesterday i also made some Timelapse with these old lenses ,
you can find them here if you are interested .

As you can see these old lense still perform pretty welll on a modern Full Frame camera all use lenses are manual focus.
i hope you liked the photos untill next time 😉
