Hi All,
I've been working on some macro project of rare and endangered flowers with my Summar, some tubes, and a Sony NEX-3. I've been happy with most of them - the closer the summar focuses, the more the edges go bananas - but I would like a little more background blur on some of the larger ones (from around 1 to 1.5 meters) than f/2 can give me. Do any of the faster 50mm or 85-135mm lenses made through the years match up to the look of the Summar well? Even any slr lenses would work, since just about anything can be hooked up to the NEX. Thanks for any ideas!
By the way - here's a Summar shot, wide open, at pretty close to 1-1:
