Hi to everyone!
This is my first post in this forum, and I will replicate what I shared yesterday in the companion FB group.
This image was taken in April 2020, by using
a Sony a6000 and a "vintage" Pentax S-M-C Takumar Macro f4 (wide open) + a Kenko MC7 Macro 2X Teleconverter.
Other data are: ISO 200, Shutter speed 1/80 s.
Even if I used a tripod, I wasn't able to use a slower shutter speed (and lower ISO!), due to some weak (but annoying!) breeze.
😅

About post-processing, I slightly enhanced the clarity and the saturation via Capture One (for Sony).
I find that using a vintage lenses for macro on my a6000 is very satisfying!
It allows me to "think" more when I shoot. Moreover I am also learning to use several focal lenghts, without spending too much money.
What do you think about vintage/legacy lenses? Have you ever tried one of them?
Have a nice day!

Beautiful shot and thanks for sharing!
I am adapting my existing lenses to my incoming ( I can't wait!!!) A7 IV to save on equipment costs.
I have some old Nikon glass and 4 enlarger lenses to adapt to the A7IV namely:

Nikon lenses:
AF-S Micro NIKKOR 60mm F2.8G ED
AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED
AI Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/2.8
28mm f/2.8 AIS Nikkor

Enlarger lenses:
Leitz Focotar 40mm f/2.8
Schneider 50mm f/2.8 Componon-S
Schneider 80mm f/4 Componon-S
Schneider 150mm f/5.6 Componon-S

Saving up for a native Sony FE 20mm f/1.8 G lens.

Cheers!
