Hi Godfrey, a wonderful picture!
My question to you is: which lens do you prefere, the Hexanon 40mm/1,8 or the G-Zuiko 40mm/1,4 ? (Somewhere i read that you own both)
Thank you for sharing the picture

Thank you!

These two lenses are so close in imaging character it's very hard to choose between them. The Oly is a little smaller, but the Konica is a bit lighter. The Konica is a bit more easily found and less expensive.

I bought the Konica so I could also use it on my FourThirds SLRs, so its mount has been adapted to FourThirds and I use it on the FT->mFT adapter. The Pen F lens can only be used on the mFT cameras. That said, I find I hardly ever use the Konica on the SLRs ... I prefer using the Oly ZD 35 on them.

Thank you for the reply, I think I look out for a konica.

Great portrait and nice colors.

I like it even more now I read the context. I agree--she probably has quite a story to tell.
