Trying out my Luminar 63mm (version 1) for the first time. The flower was not ideal.

Olympus EM-1, 100mm extension, Luminar 63mm first 3 at f9 ("2") then 2 at f13 ("8") FOV 11mm, ISO 200, twin flash, hand held (resting on table top).

This flower has the problematic blue color.

The images are uncropped.

Very nice!

The Zeiss Luminar lenses are among my favorite magnifying lenses. I love the last built 40mm f4 (not the predecessor with f4,5) but the 63mm is also one of my first choice lenses...

Best regards, Christian

This lens was listed as with "slight, age-related clouding of the lens", which made me hesitate for several days. I can't see it!

It should be good for slime moulds but they don't like our recent weather.

EM-1, 177mm extension, Luminar 63mm f13 FOV 6mm, twin flash, hand held.

This is in the magnification range I have in mind for this lens. Focusing is very critical and easily lost before the shutter activates.

The second image shows the female parts (stigmas). The last one was cropped slightly laterally.

I reworked the images to deal with microcontrast.

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.

Olympus EM-1, 100mm extension, Printing-Nikkor 105mm at f11, ISO 200, FOV 35mm wide, hand held.

I must revisit this flower when the pollen is ripe.
