Vivitar Series 1, 105mm at f11, hand held, lateral crop
I have a large number of these hybrids and have photographed several of the flowers. The interest here is in the lens.

The first 3 images were at minimum working distance at focal length 87mm and at f 11, ISO 500, hand held.
The fourth was at 150mm, minimum working distance, f8.
The fifth was at 205mm, minimum working distance, f8.
The lighting was harsh, bright sunlight. I reduced some highlights digitally.
These images seem a bit soft.
The shortest focus distance, at 2.5m, means this is not a lens for close-ups.

Schneider-Kreuznach Edixa Xenar 1:2.8/50 Lens on m4/3
I have used this lens only once previously, on the FF A7r3.
I came across it today, during a lens sort-out.
The Sony is in "Sick Bay" so I tried it on my Olympus EM-1. I was pleasantly surprised.
The first two pairs were at f11 and the third at f8, all hand-held.
I seem to have changed my viewpoint slightly between second and third pair.
