Floral Images

A couple shots I grabbed yesterday after reclaiming my old Carl Zeiss Ultron 50mm f1.8 lens. Both the lens (CLA'd) and adapter (M42 to Fuji X) came in the mail yesterday.

Two nice shots Mark, liking the second as how you have framed it coming out from the top.

Thanks! It is fun to shoot with an adapted lens. Not quite as handy, but fun. Note that I did crop and brighten up the first image a little.

Interesting bokeh. Do you remember the apertures used?

Not sure, I was shooting mainly wide open, but the first one may have been stopped down a little. I am pretty sure the second was f1.8 . I have not done tests, but get good bokeh to at least f5.6. The bokeh is often attributed to the concave front element for which the Ultron is fairly unique.
