Maybe you pushed the pictures in PP. Maybe not.
Whatever it is, I love this brilliance, this beautiful out of focus rendering.
What a great little lens!

Thank you so much! The lens and K-1 get most of the credit. I tend to underexpose using compensation like -.3 to -.7

Depending on the light and subject, this can really crank up or retain colors to almost like being there when you adjust in post back to the desired levels without blowing the highlights.

These are somewhat cropped. The mistake I keep making when I use the FA77 is being too close to the subject.

Thanks Bruce! Yeah, I guess one of the reasons we buy these short fast tele's is to use them nearly or full wide open.
