Really liking this lens, fast aperture is great for low light situations... my model might have been a bit fed up however

LOL, just a little bit.

excellent work, Robert - it is a wondrous lens...

Thank you - I hope to get acquainted with it with people portraits in the new year, should be a learning experience as that's a new genre of photography for me.

I kept picking her up and putting her on the chair after she got got down, and you need a bit of luck shooting cats at 1/15s - they don't understand "hold still"

Trying out my new to me K-3ii with the DA*55. Agi was kind enough to sit still for about 3 seconds. This camera came from Japan with a shutter count of zero.
ISO 100, F2.2, 1/100s with the AF540FGZII Flash.
