That’s true, but I’ll never reach that level of expertise, no matter how much I love playing around with photography.
The quality here makes me almost afraid to offer a couple of photos I took yesterday with the K1 and DFA 85. I was playing tourist and visiting somewhere with a whole bunch of white, so shooting at smaller apertures. It’s not something most would probably do, but I had fun doing it.
Nothing exciting, I had fun, the lens is just incredibly sharp both wide open (as others have shown here) as well as stopped down. I’m happy I bought it even though it’s designed for a type of photography I’ll never do. And it did save me money - it was a choice of buying the lens or buying a new travel trailer. The lens (as expensive as it is) was nowhere near as expensive as the travel trailer would have been!
