Nature Pulsatilla vulgaris with the Helios-44K 58mm F2

Pulsatilla vulgaris with the Helios-44K 58mm F2 · 07:04 AM

Today, April 1st, a new Single in Challenge started: https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/mini-challenges-games-photo-stories/17988...il-2012-a.html. Still not to late to join!!
I decided to join anyway, with my K-mount Helios-44K 58mm F2. And this is the first result!

Rense, this is so beautiful. Something about the softness yet the sharpness in the center of the flower really makes it for me. The background is stunning.

Thanks a lot Susan!

The cheaper, the better!

I've send you a PM!

I agree on the cheaper part. I've seen them for $20-30 or so, but the Canadian shipping always adds another $15. Pushes it out of my cheap limit (plus I need to sell a bunch of stuff first, but that as they say, is another story).

Gorgeous, love that bokeh. Guess I'm going to have to add the Helios 44K to my wish list too. I need to stop looking at your pictures, I'm going to go broke! :-)
