Relaxing green bokeh (& Revuenon 50mm, F1.4):

Little bored this morning, so I put the 100mm / f2.8 Meyer Optik Trioplan on my K5 for a walk in the field behind my house.
That is so lovely! Such wonderful bokeh too! Can you take a minute or two and tell us about that lens?

I get lots of complaints from squirrels about birds "fowling" the air and now they claim that birds even fowl this thread...but I just can't help it, when I see them I have to shoot them! Not only are they lovely in my view...they are delicious to eat...but I'd starve before I ever harmed or ate one.





Regards!

I agree Rupert, I grew up in a hunting family. Now the only things my guns shoot are clay targets.

I picked up a Rokinon 85mm f1.4 a few backs on Adorama's used site. The price was right so I figured why not give it a shot. Unfortunately I have not been able to get out much lately. I have only used it once so far and that was briefly while waiting for my dog at the vet.

85mm f1.4



I am not sure on how well I am going to like this lens yet. It just too early to tell.

Great macro shot! I wonder, do they use Burt's Bees sunscreen?

If they do, it's the only honey related thing that these bees have ever seen
I say this because they are a strange kind of bees, they only stay near the water and never go near flowers to pollen them... Maybe thay are water-bees

Here's another proof:

Yep....When you see their beauty through the lens so often, you lose all desire to eat them.

I am interested in that lens myself...bought one when I bought my Tammy 70-200 2.8 a couple of months ago but it came in a Sony mount so I sent it back. Keep me posted on your experiences with it.....love the froggy......he does look a little "steely eyed", but the bokeh is gorgeous!

Sort of pathetic, but it is the only bloom I have seen around here this season...one of Mrs Rupert's plants our grandson gave her. Squirrels have been trying to eat it for a few weeks now....I have to guard it.

No match for the lovely blooms I see posted here, but I shot it late in the evening through my office windows at about 15 feet away @ 500mm with my Bigma...not exactly a great lens for blooms. I have a fine Kiron 105mm 2.8 Macro...but that would require going outside where it is still 96F...and anyhow, I am way too lazy for that this evening.



Felt sorry for this little Spanish dove. She waited and waited for her mate, and didn't know he was at the other end of the woods flirting with another little lady. I hope he will straighten out.



Regards!

Thanks Rupert, I had the Tamron 70-200 until someone decided they needed more than me. So far with the Rokinon it is a learning experience. I have shot with a F1.4 lens so this sort of new. At f1.4 the focus confirmation light is useless on my K3. Right now I have to use Liveview and focus peaking. Here is another shot today at F1.4.

Love it Paul...the contrasting colors are perfect!

Decided to actually go out on the deck and mount the Kiron 105 2.8 Macro this morning..while it was still only 94F.

FF K1 with 540 flash unit


FF K1 no flash


I'm kind of rusty at shooting blooms.....since we seldom have any...and I never use a tripod, so these are nothing like what you guys post here, but they are better than my lazy Bigma shot!

Regards!
