It looks good to me . All nice shots Ashwin.The 135's not critically sharp wide open, but I love the look...dying to try it out for some portraiture, as I have seen some fantastic work with it....
Enjoy the 50 f/1.7 (SMC-A or SMC-M?), Jim! I am sure you'll love it. I have the 50 mm f/1.4, and struggled with whether to get the 1.4 or 1.7...I am a sucker for wide apertures, so went for the 1.4, so I'll be curious as to how you feel about the 1.7. Thanks for the kind words!Ashwin,
The 135 may not be critically sharp but your photos look great particularity the runner. I look forward to seeing some portraits with it.
I have a vintage 50 F 1.7 coming today or tomorrow. Anxious to see how that renders.

Very vool, Lee. I lik ethe ISO 12,800 noise here, in terms of what it adds to the rendition of the spider.I don't normally take photos of spiders on the dining room window (on the outside that is!) an hour after sunset but this may be of interest. It surprised me that it was dark enough to need ISO 12,800.

Lovely birds, Carl. I am impressed by the handheld/through-the-window work. That ain't easy!A pair (male above, female below) of Red-bellied woodpeckers tearing up a sugar maple for grubs. K5+DA 55-300. Handheld shooting through window, so not very sharp.
Thanks Ashwin.Lovely birds, Carl. I am impressed by the handheld/through-the-window work. That ain't easy!
Ashwin.....this is outstanding! I love the reflection of the sailboat in the glass.

Carl......just globally added +15 Luminance in LR3.....nothing heavy. I did use the spot brush to add another +20 to the black edges of the kiln door.Rich,
Amazing shots. Did you apply any noise reduction in the first? Looks great.
Nice Amy.....wait'll start pushing the ISO. You'll be shocked.Very first K5 shot... testing it out after getting it tonight. Of course, on the cat. FA 43mm f/1.9 lens @ ISO 1600...
Silver cat... silver cam...
I'm seriously impressed by both the camera and the lens!
