This lens looks perfect for macro photography!

one of my favorites! Love it, shoot a lot of flowers and other closeups with it!

Very sharp and contrasty even wide-open, very easy, convenient and accurate to manual-focus (although the rotation feeling is a bit cheapish, for the lack of better term)

I'm loving the pastel colors and the texture rendering of this lens...
The orchid is stunning

Beautifull photos. I believe the 35 Flektogon is a macro lens. I have a 2.8/35 Exakta mount version. Can we have a photo of the lens?

here is the lens:

and also the lens on the body in this thread http://e-p1.net/lens-sample-photo-archive/m42-to-pen-lens-project-jupiter-industar-helios-carl-zeiss-pentacon-etc/msg52073/#msg52073

uh-oh... Just realized my post in this thread should actually go here - http://e-p1.net/lens-sample-photo-archive/carl-zeiss-jena-ddr-mc-flektogon-35mm-2-4/ - sorry for confusion

the lens has a "way" of backround seperation that is clean and artful

This is with the Zeiss Jena 2.8/35 - Exakta Mount

wow to that last photo a beauty , nice ...is that 1:1?

ratobuhler · « **Reply #9 on:** June 22, 2011, 01:46:02 PM »

Not quite. The penny is 18mm dia. the image of it on the sensor is about 5.3mm. That would correspond to about 0.3x magnification

Do you want me to move this to the "Lens Sample Archive"?
