To start this year 2019, today tests shots in reflected ultraviolet photography of an Oncostele orchid with a modern German high speed ISCO f2/100mm movie projection lens. UV filter used was a Schott UG1 + BG38 filter stack as well as my work horse UV transmission filter, the Baader-U. All shots were done at f2 as this lens has no iris. Light source used was a modified Xenon flash.

This ISCO lens has despite its MC coating a surprising high UV transmission and I will certainly elaborate more on those type of lenses!
Stay tuned, more will follow on that fascinating subject...
