Shot wide open, my new base DXO Optics Pro preset + small boost in saturation. Both lenses render a bit warm, but I did not correct WB. Late afternoon sun diffused thru a partially-open aluminum blind gave a soft, warm light.

Thanks. I very much enjoy both lens' gentle, muted warm rendering.

Rendering of those lenses is perfect for the subject!

Heh, I thought so, too, which is why I felt like posting them. I am glad you noticed. We all talk so often of finding the proper focal length for a particular subject, but IMO finding the right rendering is important, too.
