Love the PP you did on that, Na Horuk. Love the mood of the picture. Kudos.

Hey, thank you very much for linking my photo!

Here is another one with the DA 35mm:

In case anyone forgets, the Plastic Fantastic is capable of some truly great images

I love the character of this lens.

EDIT: metering for an all-white fluff ball of a chihuahua is about as difficult as you think it is

Recently a photo I took with the DA 35mm f2.4 got onto the "popular" page on 500px

500px / Blue beach by Stolpulus II
Press M on that page to see the full detail. Some processing was done, but not very much

Great keepers you got. Especially the dogs are very cute. Landscape is also nice. Will post some pictures soon, but I used the 77/1.8 more often these days to learn more portrait photography.

Nrrfred: The brown dog shot is a perfect gem. Really demonstrates the amazing clarity and color of that fine plastic 35MM. Nice treat. Thanks, Freddy

Yes, Na. The 35mm plastic really takes great twilight shots, as I have discovered in my own experience. Nice. Freddy

Pidosphere: that is an awesome shot.. damn, man!

Plastic Fantastic strikes again! Gosh, I love this lens.

fevbusch · 03-18-2014, 12:36 PM

nerfred, this is amazing shot of the two dogs, from the 35..
In a few days I'll be getting my plastic, fantastic, DA50mm 1.8. I would love to see a thread started with the 50.
Maybe when I take some shots with the new 50 I'll start something. I"m surprised there is so little
discussiion about the 50, and would love to get involved in it. Does anyone else have any interest in
pursuing the 50mm plastic topic. I'm sure looking forward to a strong dialogue about it.
I'm sure the 50 will be an exciting adventure, when it gets rolling!
Regards, Freddy
