therion, wonderful images! Are these all from Slovakia? Looks like a gorgeous place, and well captured.

tuco, I always enjoy your images. How did you manage the bicycle shot? Looks as though you were riding in a sidecar...

tuco, so much to like about that porch image! Lines, framing, color...looks like a wonderful place to spend a lazy afternoon.

I built a jig to hold the camera on the bike and used an air bulb cable release you can sort of see me holding in my right hand.

Here are my shots with my copy: https://www.flickr.com/photos/rbso/sets/72157634679628423

Still haven't got a shot I'm really happy with yet, but that's not the lense's fault! Really very sharp, but a small amount of softness at the edges regardless of aperture in my experience.

.I see just now that this is an old thread and so you already know what a great lens this is. Anyway here's a sample of mine followed by a crop that illustrates the sharpness of this lens. Handheld, Nikon 9000 scan.

I would be interested in seeing how others are using this lens. When I tried to search the photo section of this site that lens resulted in "no matches".

There is quite a number of pictures taken with the 4/45mm at the PPG; see PENTAX : Select a PENTAX interchangeable lens camera or a lens model for an overview.

That shot is fantastic by the way.
