the last rose...

As the garden slowly falls into hibernation, a last rose blossoms as a memory of summer.

 

Sony a7C

Meyer Optik Görlitz Domiplan

50mm f:2.8

Asahi Pentax Close-Up Lens No.1

 

The humble Domiplan can be very sharp, as you can see in the details of the flower. In the right circumstances its bokeh can be quite spectacular, though not so here. A drawback is its rather long minimum focussing distance: 75 cm. Even with a close-up lens I wasn't able to get as close as I could have done with a Pentacon 50/1.8 or a Flektogon 35/2.8 .
