Used the Pentacon AV 2.8/80 (made in G.D.R.) with Meke 20mm Extension Tube

Lens known for it's bokeh. Totally manual you must move the camera to get focus. (not cropped)

Looks best full screen if you have a large monitor.

Taken with a PENTACON (DIAPLAN) 2.8 / 80 AV Projection Lens with a 12mm Macro Extension Tube Attached. See how much bigger the bokeh is than in the previous image which did not have the extension tube.

PLEASE ENLARGE so you can see the details and bokeh. Ground cover and tree branches are bouncing the light to create the bokeh.

Three monarchs are still hanging around so maybe they don't plan to migrate so I wish them well.

I had the Meyer-Optik Görlitz Diaplan 80mm Fixed f2.8 lens with a 12mm extension tube on when this beauty flew in, so I made the best of it. I did not have any other lens with me. I love the bubble bokeh even if I was faced with less DOF and I had to position myself for focus as there is no focus ring.

To me this is just as beautiful as the summer blue of this Hydrangea. I love the fall look. They are beautiful right in to winter when they become a dried flower. I wait until spring to trim them back.

Enlarge for details.
