These are breathtaking. I have never seen anything like them.

Here's one of my friend shot with an F 50 1.7 @ f2.8

Swift1 · 10-26-2011, 02:32 PM

K10D, F28/2.8

Happy to see you again. Two more from my Kx and the 50mm/1.7

theunartist · 11-22-2011, 09:10 AM

K20D + F 50/1.4

Posted these elsewhere but belongs here as well...

F 35-70/3.5-4.5 this lens is so sharp and clear for a zoom...

theunartist · 11-24-2011, 01:58 PM

K20D + Pentax F 50/1.7 @ ISO1600

I have both the 1.4 and 1.7 version, I think the 1.7 is sharper out of the box. No PP except to resize image...

I can't believe I hadn't mentioned this the first time I looked at these: they are truly remarkable images. They show so much personality. They remind me of the illustrations in children's books, which is amazing. Have you entered them in any contests?

I would also like to see them with the blacks pulled down just a bit to add some definition.

you think? it is sharper.

I recent obtained a F-28mm/2.8 and a F-50mm/1.4, here is the F-28mm/2.8 with ISO 800 with f/2.8 wide open.

Actually Im not too sure about this. From several side by side comparisons I have seen:

-Yes the 1.7 is sharper at 1.7 than the 1.4 is at 1.4
-But the 1.4 is sharper than the 1.7 at 1.7!
-I think they are pretty even above 2.0 but not sure

Just for the fun of it, I'll post some comparative photos later. The entire point of using the 1.4; it delivers what you want at 1.4, I feel it doesn't. The 1.7 does deliver at 1.7...

Don't think for a minute I would give up my precious 1.4

Don't know what your ambient lighting was like here but it amazes me how much light my F28 sucks in @ 2.8, I've got shots that I thought were impossible in dark museums etc.
