I also put a VPK Meniscus lens in an M42 extension tube, using the tube as a lens shade by putting the lens in the rear portion. Then I use a bellows between the tube and the camera. This batch of images were from a very private garden we have locally. The plants are changed almost daily. Homous Depous Gardens.
This shows the ability of this simple lens to also act as a macro lens and still retain the buttery bokeh. These shots are all handheld with the wide open meniscus lens which is ~f5.6
