Spring Flowers 2013 - 100mm Focotar enlarger lens for reflected ultraviolet photography

Today about the same early spring Irises shot in reflected ultraviolet photography that I had shown before when shot with the Cerco quartz fluorite lens. Filter used was my "work horse" UV filter, the Baader-U filter. Lens used was an old 100mm Focotar enlarger lens. Light source was the last sunrays of that wonderful spring Sunday. All shots were done at about f8. So, on to the results now...
