KMZ Tair 11 135mm f/2.8
Nikon 1 (V1) : 10-30mm 1 Nikkor f/3.5-5.6
This is the rig used to produce the adjacent photograph of the Platycodon flower. The Tair 11, a product of the former Soviet Union, is renowned for it's sharpness and the quality of it's bokeh. It's seen here with a 10mm extension ring to permit a closer focusing distance. It's a big, heavy lens with a pre-set aperture diaphragm, so working with it is a slow and methodical process.
