I love the subtlety of light in that first one. Well done.

Great cat shots!

And another nice portrait yorik!

Here's on from the Fa 77 in NZ a couple years ago.

Nice! The FA 77 is considered a portrait lens, but I find it excellent for any subject, as you show here.

Totally agree. It is sublime for portraits, as many have shown here, but I also find it great for landscape details. I primarily shoot wider landscapes, but on the occasions where I reach for the 77, I'm rarely disappointed with the result. It's probably the one lens in my kit that's totally safe from ever being sold, whether or not I stick with APS-C or eventually move to full-frame.

We recently mated our yellow labrador with a friend's golden retriever with the following result:

They've pretty much been my only photo subjects for the last few weeks. Not that I mind...they're hilarious.
Particularly since they also live with a large vicious-looking doberman that runs away whenever the pups become playful towards her.

Very nice!

We used to have a labrador-retriever girl and yes, these guys have usually big apetite.
