Wow, these are amazing. My frog shots doesnt hold a candle. Can't pick a favourite

I love frogs (and all things underrated in general). Does the FA 43 really focus this close? no cropping?

Damn nice shots... Looks like you got close with the 43, I'm not sure it focused that close!

**Rense** · 03-16-2009, 04:06 PM

Fantastic shots! Those colours are marvelous and they are sharp!!!

Thank you.

It doesn't focus this close at all, the only weakness of this lens. Luckily it is sharp as hell, so it allows for cropping. The last image is a 100% crop

Great shots! I have a 43mm and know it's not a close focusing lens so...how'd you do it? ;~)

Good series, wonderful colours.

Thank you very much...every shot is a crop, some more extreme than the others..

LOL, when the lens allows for 100% cropping and still stay sharp, it's easy

Also, I am getting better with PP, so all of this have a good dose of saturation and sharpness, but the lens has to allow for it. Every lens in my collection could be replaced, but I will never let go of my FA43.

Wonderful tones and tack sharp. Too bad that lens will be out of my price range... possibly forever. Great work!

The colour is so surreal here. Typically from Fa 43mm ltd

#1: iso 100, f3.2, 1/6

#2: iso 400, f 2.8, 1/80

#3: iso 400, f2.8, 1/30

#4: iso 400, f2.8, 1/20

#5: iso 200, f2.2, 1/6

Thank you...But, the FA 43 is cheaper than your FA 35
