Some photos from my trip to Warsaw, Poland.

Processed in SilkyPix Developer Studio Pro 7. Click on the images to read description and to see them in full size.

It was my first trip when decided to leave 60-250 at home and take this manual zoom instead. I was not disappointed in the slightest.

Very nice. That's a lens I wouldn't mind adding to my collection.

Taken with an old Tokina RMC 80-200, purchased with a batch of lenses and a ZX-M awhile back. The lens was a pleasant surprise, although I don't use it a lot (xposted):

, Some who like this lens have called it a stack of primes, all at f 3.5, of course! I am enjoying learning about it. The lens is a little heavy, and the way it switches in and out of macro mode is a little fussy, but build quality is great, well built, good looking workmanship.

Nice work (but is the A28/2 a manual zoom?)

I would say your photos have its (your) own color footprint which I really like. Could you share a few words how you proces them? Of course these are very well executed photos made in a good light, but I suspect some clever PP work is also important here.

I really like this lens in its native full-frame format. Here are a couple of shots from forested area of northern Ohio.
