Nice, I love the rich green tones in this one!

Thanks. I think the 28/2 did very well though I had to up the ISO more than I like with the K-3 in order to close it down a bit.

Here's another similar one from the same morning.

I got myself a copy of that lens in May this year. Great lens.
I like to use these old lenses.

That's a nice one as well, though I find the bokeh (notably on the right upper corner) a bit distracting.

Yeah, I don't know of any 28mm that has great bokeh. This lens is probably the best of the bunch from the ones I've tried.

I'm not sure exactly what the thing is with bokeh, but I find that it sometimes works and in another very similar situation it jut doesn't. The two images of the spiders web and the conifers are quite comparable, but - for me at least - the bokeh works in the first one and less so in the second one. I guess this is the strange way of optics.
