These are spectacular.
First one remains my favorite. There is something so iridescent and haunting about the blue on the rust - but they all win!

Really gorgeous work. The second and third are also spectacular in crop and color.

I just love that lens. The lens is sharp and has good contrast.

It's the Industar 50-2 50mm f3.5. You can pick them up cheap on eBay, but only buy them from Russia or old Soviet states. Shipping takes a long time, but worth the wait. Get the hood too because flaring is an issue. You might have to shim the hood to get a good fit. I used electrical tape.
