Birthday Boy Rose (Pentacon 50mm f1.8 vintage lens)

This is a "birthday boy rose", bought for me by one of my daughters and her husband on my birthday earlier this year.

It is a beautiful flower and has had some lovely flowers all summer.

The Pentacon 50mm f1.8 will close focus to 0.33 metres which makes it quite a versatile lens. It takes great portraits and as you can see here lovely macros too.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend, it is going to be a hot and balmy day on Saturday.
