As you may have guessed from the previous post, my Zeiss Sonnar 135/2.8 has had more use in the last month than it had in the last 3 years! But this lens has one known drawback: the minimum focusing distance is too long (1,6 m), which makes it useless for close-ups. Of course, that can be remedied if one is willing to use extension tubes... It just so happens that I had a beautifully crafted set of original Contax extension tubes on a cardboard box labeled "old photo gear". Thank God I'm not into selling old stuff on Ebay!
So here are a few flower shots taken with 13 and 20 mm extension tubes. Just wait for the bees and butterflies to start showing. I'm ready for them!

I have set aside my more expensive sharper Leicas lenses for the Zeiss' beautiful character
Very pretty, nice compositions!
