First shots w/ the DA 35mm Ltd. Macro

First shots w/ the DA 35mm Ltd. Macro · 09:22 AM

But mostly non-macro shots! Hmm...

The thing I'm finding about photos from this lens is that I have to do much less post-processing in Lightroom to get them to look how I want. Contrast, color, sharpness are all so much better out of the box. I'm really gonna love this one.

Yeah, it's definitely a great lens. Nice selection of photos presented here.

Good workout for the lens there.

I'm wondering if that's true of all the DA Limited lenses. Noticed the same thing about the DA 21mm that I just picked up...

Great shots from a great lens. I just bought this lens as well, and - like all the DA Limiteds - both it's operation and output are terrific.

Is the weird almost "radial" blur on the b&w one a product of extremely narrow DOF, or is there some other property of the lens that causes it?

I like the portrait the best

Great series of test images. Sure you would love this lens in the years to come

Saving up hard for this lens...can't wait!

Really like the second pic. So sharp.

Wow, looks really nice results with that lens! The last three are great photos!
