DA70 Portraits

DA70 Portraits · 08:47 AM

I haven't really spent enough time with this lens to figure out where it fits in my kit. It's too long to use as a general walkabout prime and too short for telephoto shots. But, there's one thing I know for sure......it is a great headshot/portrait lens. The FL is perfect for that type of shooting.

Here are some images from a family portrait shoot I did yesterday. These are pretty much straight out of the camera. Just slight tuned for WB. contrast, etc in LR2. I'll balance the exposures and clean up some things in PS before delivering the finished images. These look dull a little after being uploaded to Photobucket, but I'm really pleased with the sharpness and bokeh of this lens.

All shot with the K20D/DA70 @ f2.8

You are correct it is a great head hunter. Great shots there.

Thanks, Scott.

That's going to be my nickname for this lens...."The Headhunter".
