Paw, Pads and nails

I bought a vintage lens at the weekend (yes another). It cost me the grant total of £5-00

It's a Sirius 48mm f2,8 macro , multi coated in an M42 mount.

There's not much info about it on the internet, there are some reviews, rather unusually it is very popular adapted as a lens for video cameras.

Anyway, I think this picture is pretty cool and my first impressions are very positive and it is a keeper. I think this was shot at f5.6
great detail

Great detail .. although she might not want to see it! Looks like you got yourself a good lens at a bargain price.

What I want to say is that I think she should wear some socks - don't take offence, Phil! Amazing detail!!!
