Rope Up Close

Praktica MTL5, Pentacon 29mm f2.8 reversed, Kodak Tri-X rated at EI 400


My first ever reversed lens macro shot. I got caught short without extension tubes, so I held the lens reversed and pushed in the aperture pin with one finger to take the shot! The edge quality is much better reversing the lens as the smaller rear element takes in the scene without anywhere near the distortion that the larger front element does.
