not sure why, but our 11 week old 2.5 # new Japanese Chin puppy - Sable Fuzz Ball - appear to be green with envy

or perhaps it has a little of the Irish in it.

[Of course, it is the auto focus beam reflecting off the back of the eyes]

Pretty good example of what the 16~85mm can do @ 16mm. My apologies that this is a cross-posted image. I avoid posting the same image on different threads, although I'm not above reposting an image from year or more back.

From a recent photocharter. I used the 16-85 and the DA* 60-250 - sufficed all day.

The 16-85 DA is the best general-purpose lens I ever had, by far. I had it on the K3 for over a year.

Now, with the K1, I like the 24-70 but miss the substantially lighter K3 setup.

I love the colour rendition of this lens, even under difficult lighting conditions:

Took a walk last along the river downtown since the sun finally came for a bit. I think this going to be my new goto lens. I really like how this lens feels and the range.
16mm f5.6

31mm f8

So that is where the sidewalk ends, 16mm f6.3.

85mm f5.6

16mm f5.6

16mm f6.3

28mm f6.3

85mm f5.6

A couple of night shots back at my truck before I left. Luckily my tripod was still in there. 18mm f6.3

31mm f6.3

This is not a political statement, just photojournalism. The 16-85 makes the perfect walk around lens on a crop sensor.
