Der große Makro Thread

Nikon Nikkor-N Auto 24mm f:2.8 Non AI at f11 and its closest working distance (see above) of 1 foot/30cm and at 1.5 feet/45cm on A7r, daylight, hand-held.
The first image is cropped by about a third, from the processed image. Ideally the crop would be processed from scratch. The second is definitely close-up rather than macro.

Thank you,

this is an amazing lens. I think they're still among the best performing macro lenses in their class, even compared with today's standards.

I have two 95mm printing Nikkors. One vintage lens, with aperture, and a newer one, made by Nikon Rayfact, with fixed aperture.

This are really gorgeous lenses.

Best regards, Christian

Unfortunately, people who think they are experts say such lenses are no better than other good macro lenses at smaller that maximum aperture. Utter nonsense.

I don't see the point of a Rayfact with fixed aperture. It seems a bit like using a projector lens.

Olympus EM-1, Luminar 63mm f9, 100mm ext, 6mm FOV, twin flash, hand held.

Only my third session with this lens.

This is in the range if magnifications I would want to use the lens for and with a subject not needing a huge DOF.

There may be 3 species represented here.

The first image has been cropped laterally.
