Greetings to all.  This week brings me back to the wall of trumpet vines
but looking at the rose bush that decided to intrude:

I don't remember which lens I was using for this one, it may have been a
LTM Canon 100 F2:

I brought out a 1930's Contarex 135 which is surprisingly good.  For long
time listers Marc James Small promoted these and their Russian offspring:

I have several tessar lenses from most manufacturers but this mid 60's
Zeiss version in a Contarex mount is very good:

All the best.
