Gorgeous.

I have the 100 APO (Leitaxed to Nikon F mount) and the new macro lens for
the Z system - Nikon Z105mm f2.8S. Though I feel that the latter is better
on the Z system, not least because of the superior handling, the 100 APO is
still a remarkably good lens given its age, as is the even more ancient
Nikon AI Micro Nikkor 55mm f3.5, though the latter two only go up to 1:2
magnification.

Cheers
Jayanand
