Today no flowers shots, but instead testing a f3.5 / 20mm wide angle lens for usefulness in UV and BV, for reflected ultraviolet photography using my "work horse" UV filter, the Baader-U filter as well as my XBV filter for simulating bee vision. Light source was sun. All shots were done at about f3.5.

Well, its gets obvious that this lens has a useful UV transmittance and is quite sharp also in ultraviolet light.
Stay tuned, more will follow on that fascinating subject...
