Okay thanks will do. Porst was a German distributor so makes sense there are more available there.

Oregano blossoms. First year I've grown this stuff. Taken with my DA-L 50-200 with a "+4 Macro" filter on the front;

I agree the daylight performance isn't great, but still that kind of bokeh fully stopped down is unbelievable. I kinda want one now...thanks...

I have to amend this - these shots were at f1.2; the Porst was not stopping down at all due to the anodized mount... a bit of foil to short the contacts and I have proper green-button metering now...

I'll be doing more evaluating with this lens, but, so far, she's proven that she's a keeper....

For reasons unimportant now, I could not finish my Single Challenges month in June with the Spiratone Plura-Coat 20/2.8 ... so, I called a "Mulligan" and rebooted in mid July. Some recent efforts on K-1 ... xpost from K-1 thread

What was that?

My LBA therapy was a total failure, so now we just need to be sure we're not bidding against each other - can we take numbers like at the deli?

MY transplanted rose of sharon bushes survived! One was 7ft tall and about 6ft wide, that was the tougher one. It's blooms and leaves are a little smaller than normal, but it's still green (and flowering)

SMC-K 55mm at f2.8

SMC-K 55mm at f1.8 taken yesterday

SMC-K 135mm at f5.6 taken this morning (same two blooms)

That last image has some pretty nervous bokeh going on in it.
