DA-L50-200 on my K-5II. X-posted. I bought this lens for reach and I keep using it for close work instead.

EDIT: Is my processing completely off here? I'm having the issue with this image looking good in some viewers on my computer and really flat/dark in others including Chrome. This trips me up too often.

It looks great on my system. It's possible that browsers like Chrome and Edge may be compressing the image for speed which can change some characteristics.

It's that situation where the color profile isn't being utilized properly in some instances. What looks bright red in some viewers looks much darker elsewhere. This is one issue that hits me now and then and it feels like dark magic to really fix.
