Miniature rose

MINIATURE ROSE, EVANSTON, ILLINOIS, MARCH 8, 2014

Pentax K-01
Pentax 100mm Bellows-Takumar f4
10 sec. f22
ISO 100

I captured this dime-sized rose in a tabletop bouquet while experimenting with a 1970s-era screw-mount Bellows-Takumar lens in a Pentax Bellows K. The source of light was a dining-room lamp directly overhead. The ancient kit does a decent job although modern macro lenses probably would outdo its image quality in a direct comparison.
