Story:
For many years we had a small tangerine tree marking the entrance of our house, but it suddenly died.
The tangerine replacement was another tree, a Japanese Maple, however it did not last long. Finally we replaced the upper level of the soil and planted an assortment of succulent plants. They have lasted since last summer and throughout the winter as well.
After this introduction, and as I could not go out due to the pandemic, they became the subject. Used my Rollei 6008 with Black and White film. Although I used Zeiss prime lenses, which were built with 30+ years old technology, images were not sharp and the film grain produced a soft look, and very little depth of field. As I used the extension rings, the depth of field was further reduced.
Last week my new Sony A7R IV arrived, so I tested it with taking images of the Succulents.
The lens quality paired with the extension rings; I was able to do macro photography. Sharp details where I wanted and beautiful bokeh on the backgrounds.
