Originally posted by Serge Hi there! Thank you for posting these gorgeous pics. It seems that the most of shots taken here are closeups. I'm just wondering if there are any examples of lens rendering at longer focusing distances, portrait work or landscapes. Thanks!
I can whole heartedly offer my assurance that this lens is a lot more than it seems for 379. I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir in here, but for those just wondering how a manual focus, mono-focal lens could be versatile, well, let me tell ya.
If your shooting landscapes - sharp as you can get helps - from 2.8 this lens is
really sharp, and good color rendition too.
Here is a shot taken on a nature walk at the Emerald Lake resort in BC, Canada as the sun began to set. Shot handheld, 1/250, 5.6 with a polarizer attached to punch through the distant blues that happens in the mountains.
BIG crop, to really note the detail.
