👍 Using one of the old projector lenses is a great way to get into this hobby. They can be very sharp lenses, and are popular for photostacking.

The fixed aperture is a bit of a problem. This lens is pretty "soft" at 2.8.

The lens might possibly be very sharp where it is in focus, but one can't judge that with one picture. I wonder too if you could insert some sort of mask inside to create a smaller aperture and this would increase depth of field from it.

Lovely color and a very sharp highly detailed center. I agree with Mark that projector and scanner lenses make great focus stacking lenses.
