, 1/250 f/11.0, ISO 1000, hand held. Parco delle cave, Italy.

Il pungiglione o coda che vuol chiamarsi è del tutto inoffensivo, a cosa serve? Serve precisamente per difendersi, ma non da altri animali o insetti predatori, bensì dalla femmina della sua specie in fase di accoppiamento, perché ha la tendenza a mangiarsi il partner una volta compiuto il suo lavoro. Al fuco (maschio dell'ape) tale sorte è inevitabile, mentre per la mosca scorpione le cose vanno meglio, in quanto, con il suo pungiglione blocca la femmina rendendola quasi inoffensiva, e per stare ancora più tranquillo, quando trova il partner per accoppiarsi, le porta in dono qualche insetto per farla mangiare sperando così di salvarsi, cosa che accade, ma non sempre.

You are right Stefano, it is a lens of the 80s made by Vivitar, I bought it on ebay in England for 280 euros practically new.
Has exceptional clarity and a very pleasant blurry.
With digital it is reborn and is now much appreciated.
