Theory on DA 35mm ltd 'greatest lens ever' (?) tag

Boosting this thread. This lens (the original model) was my first prime lens and whenever it ends up back on my camera I can't remember why I've ever taken it off. The perfect summer walk around lens.

Had to catch the bees on my son's sunflowers.

In retirement, I have been writing articles (and a book - 101 Classic Firearms, available on Amazon) on classic and historical firearms. I recently took this picture of a couple of Smith & Wesson revolvers that were shipped in my birth year, 1939. I habitually use the 35mm lens for its sharpness - it reveals even small details. It took me years to find specimens that were in near perfect condition, given that they have been around, like me, for 81 years!

We have a lot of fungi in the woods behind my house but I never know which ones are delicious and which ones will kill you

Those particular ones would at least cause some serious discomfort...

As a freelance writer/photographer, I get to take interesting product shots. This was taken with the 35mm on a K-3. It's a Smith and Wesson Model 27 (.357 magnum) in its fitted presentation case. The beautiful walnut grips are handcrafted painstakingly.

Hellebore, one of my favorite flowering yard plants in the Pacific Northwest
Purposefully underexposed, circular polarizer, handheld Godox off camera flash

K3ii set up just off a feeder (f/22, ISO 100, 1/180) and a remote trigger used to fire the camera as birds approached.
Still playing with the Godox Xpro flash trigger, using two remote Godox v860ii flashes near the feeder (manual 1/16 to freeze action)
If I were really clever, I'd have a third flash to illuminate some of the background, but I kind of like the isolated look of this Pine siskin and unnatural dark background.

Columbia Gorge, Oregon. The 35mm macro limited is also great for epic landscapes.
