I wish you could see the grin on my face right now...

These are so good. What a great window that is in the second shot and I love the leaves and OOF colors in the 4th shot.
And the soft lavendars and greens in the first one...

I can't wait to see what you get in the next 48hrs...

Do you find it to be as easy to focus as I do? I think it is one of the most forgiving lenses I have in terms of MF.

Ps... do not look at 'my fav new lens' post... It is my new love...

In Soviet Russia, lens focusses you.

Sorry, I couldn't resist. Great photo's, I like the colours alot.

Some good photos in here with lots of colour. I particularly like the window shot and the last three, that really demonstrates good use of shallow depth of field.

Very nice series - looks to be tack sharp and good in low light a keeper for sure.

Great photos! You and Gus are driving up the price of both the Helios and the Tair.

Cool series Jeff, #5 is my favourite, I want to put my eye up to the centre and peer through it to see if the background is any clearer.

Those are all very nice shots, with great colors and touching simplicity. Thanks.

I really liked this series, wonderful colors

octavmandru · 04-02-2009, 03:55 AM

I like the first and the remaining 7.
Nice colors, bouquet, sharpness... all

gawan · 04-02-2009, 12:27 PM

That lens sure is capable of good rendering colours and overall has a nice touch in it! Sharp too!

Nicely done. I really like the first and last ones Jeff. Gus, I believe, must be part Russian when it comes to lenses! Cheers JIM
