Schlumbergera microspherica Flower.
This cactus is a separate species in the same genus as the Christmas/Easter/Holiday cactus but its leaf-like stems are sub-cylindrical. It is overall miniature in comparison. I have had this species for many years, finding it difficult to keep alive. To my surprise it has now produced a flower.
The lens (M39 mount) I used arrived today and I found the inside (front) of the rear element has extensive but fine fungus. This was a test to see how much it might affect images. I have seen no effect here but the subject is not the best test. Anyway, enjoy!
EM-1, Minolta Rokkor f4.5 75mm, f16, 85mm extension, FOV 22mm wide, twin RC flash, hand held.
I took shots at f11 and f16 but none at f11 were sharp.
I can't remove duplicate attachment. The second one is not required.
