This image of Helianthus annuus and pollinators was taken with a Sony A7R5 and a Tamron Adaptall-2 80-210mm F/3.8-4 Model 03A (circa 1979). The challenges taking this were that this manual lens is heavy, so not great for handheld shots. It also does not communicate with the camera so there is no EXIF data. If the wind blows, IBIS helps but not a lot. It was breezy that day so I set up my tripod and waited for the wind to die down. It captures superb images with great bokeh. I shot this at F8 aperture.

Interesting concept and great execution of that composition. I find it to be slightly blown out in the highlights and lacking in freezing power with the pollinators. A faster shutter speed would help with both of these. The colours are really beautiful and well brought out though!
