Here is one with Pentax M 50mm f1.7, wide open at f1.7 and around minimum focus distance:

The flower is sharp, but DoF is miniscule

Hello everyone,

I recently joined PF and through the marketplace was able to purchase my first Pentax. I now have a K5 with an 18-135.

I have wanted a Pentax for many years, so obviously I am thrilled. I also, in my past short excursion into photography found close up and macro photography to be my favorite. I am enjoying all the photos posted here. Makes me anxious to get started again!

I have spent weeks perusing ebay for a suitable lens and had an awakening. I really don't know enough about lenses to choose just the right one to achieve the sharpness with the type of bokeh I want.
So, I think the best bet is hang out here, listen and learn. When the time is right I will get a lens from a forum member. I don't think I'll be misguided then. I hope you all will chime in to help me learn and make the right choice. Perhaps more than many of you, for reasons I won't go into, each non necessary(heat, elec, mtg.type non necessary) purchase I make impacts my finances. I usually can't do a redo. I have learned to make my choices wisely.

Looking forward to your new photos and input.

Thanks,
Deb

Guess = in highlight ...

Almost like some Helios "swirl" there ... J

Haha, well yes! I wrote the answer because I didn't want to keep you in suspense
