Hi Jim-Armanius - any more thoughts on the 35 f2? The shots you posted look very sharp.
Jim
WOW, they jacked up the price on the FA31 too? Price gouging. Four weeks ago, it was about $960.Here the 50/2 is $475 and the 31 is $1149. I could buy the 35/2 and another lens for the price of the 31. The question obviously is - is it worth it? It's hard to tell unless you have handled both. I appreciate your input.
The 18-135 is a very nice lens. I just miss the ability to have a larger f stop and to be able to easily control my backgrounds.

Indeed! The fruits photo really shows the depth of the colors. Was that with the DA21? Any digital filter or film profile used?These are snaps but just to add to color and dynamic range examples, this camera has:
- Raist
I've also begun converting straight from raw with the k5, with minimum editing and I don't touch the colours. I find them pretty much spot on as they are - you've just gotta love the RAW files and the amount of data captured in them, useful for when you end up needing to 'save' a photo (due to wrong exposure etc)Da 71, no weird filters or editing but a straight raw conversion in aperture + some sharpening.
Very nice Rich. You are fortunate to have such lush surroundings to work with. How do you like the 200 on the K5? Images certainly look good.I love Golden Hour....200mm (f/5.0@1/1000, 320ISO)

Jono,Here are three shots from my newly loved 100 WR (having discovered how not to make it sound like a dentists drill).
Oh - and if I'm doing fruit I may as well do animals too.
Here is the damned cat in the cutlery cupboard again :angry:
And the dog trying to look serious and intelligent
all the best
Nono - don't do that - the 35 has real advantages as well . . . just console yourself with buying a 200 oke:Jono,
Beautiful shots with the 100 WR. I'm almost tempted to sell my 35 macro and get the 100,
