Thanks Tsuken!

Here is one cross-posted from the Bokeh thread...

Some new spring leaves are coming out now. Experimenting with in-camera B&W settings with my K-5.

Bokeh-rific! The last one is really nice.

I have to agree about the third shot of your post, zzeitg.

A very eye-pleasing shot with a 3-D look to it.

Very nice.

Mike

Thanks, Jorgario. I paid approx. 95 USD for this lens. Ridiculous...

And there's even more... this lens makes me ask why did I invest into macro lenses... (

)

(I'm afraid to ask - are all M lenses that good...?)

It's breakfast time... (M50 f1.4)

Jonathan Mac · 03-22-2015, 02:33 PM - **3 Likes**

Last Autumn I took the M 85mm f/2 on an organised photo-walk and used it as it was originally intended - a short telephoto portrait lens. The other photo-walkers were happy to oblige as subjects.

All taken on Ilford Pan 100 film in my MX, and all at f/2.8 if I recall.

M 100mm f4 macro
Portraits look good as well. Here is the "troubled" light, I used in camera flash as is, which I usually never use. Focus is a bit sort, it's not the lens, but my aged eyes

This lens is really sharp.

Jonathan ur M85 takes perfect street portraits. Ive been wanting to get that lens for long time.

with M40-80 and K30

ZombieArmy · 03-25-2015, 07:22 PM

Taken with the 200mm Prime and the K-01, certainly my favorite long lens in my collection.

I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a 200 at a stupidly good price.

MarkJerling · 03-25-2015, 08:37 PM

Nice shot!
