This is our last Clematis of Autumn. It illustrates the weakness and a couple strengths of the 135 on the K-1.
The first image shows the entire frame. The second is an actual pixel crop.
First, this is minimum focus distance. The flower is 3-4 inches across. Be prepared to crop if you desire detail
on small subjects. That's the main issue I have with the lens. A extension tube might be of assistance. Second,
the depth of field at max aperture is ridiculously thin, as you can see from the crop.
Strengths: First, a smooth bokeh is easy to achieve. A composition where the bokeh is pleasant over the entire
frame can be a challenge. Second, the lens is fairly sharp, even wide open, as you can see in the wing detail of
the hoverfly. This was handheld, with exposure compensation down a stop because of the clematis' bright center.
