1 meter MFD and a 50 mm lens isn't ideal for taking photos of fungi, but it's all I had with me at the time

Another one I hadn't seen here before in the local park/forest, a stinkhorn

I don't know ...

I think that's also a stinkhorn, a little earlier in the cycle of releasing its spores

Makiflex 180 F2.8 Zebra Sonnar FOMA by Nokton48, on Flickr


The zebra 180mm F2.8 CZJ Sonnar (uber hacked rear mount completely removed, refitted into Plaubel Peco Jr recessed board). Makiflex Standard FOMA 200 Mic-X. Lens will just cover, 18"x18" area is as far out as it will focus. Amazing Sonnar bokeh. This lens is a fave for Pentacon Six fans, this is pushing the envelope with larger format. I like the delicate lighting on this one.
