Yep, Star D from the 1950s, when I first started taking serious
pictures. Except for a couple of antique wooden ones, it's all I have.
I prefer hand-held shots. The stainless mesh cable release is also an
antique.

LOL. Here I thought I was giving you an excuse! :-)
While I don't have his lens collection, I looked at what I had and
decided to combine the Pentax Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 135/3.5 with
the longest extention tube that would focus at ground level on my
collapsed tripod. This turned out to be a 38mm tube. It is a damp
morning and the soil of the mound is wet. I aroused the ants near
the green leaves and set the aperture at f/11 for better DoF.

Hey, you can see the ants! A lot better.

I recognize that tripod! Star-D, from the middle of the last century.
:-) Since I never throw anything away, it's possible I have one
buried in basement or garage, but have no idea where. A really
awkward, clunky thing. Transmits vibration like crazy IOW - rings like
a bell.
