The ferociously flaring Meyer-Optik Gorlitz Diaplan 80mm f/3.5 projector lens gives some immensely low-contrast results even with relatively innocuous light sources:
I love the output.
Lightly processed in Lightroom to darken the blacks.

December in the upper Midwest.
Testing my recently acquired Pentax K28mm/2 on my K1.
I tend to shoot telephoto, so this is quite a new experience for me.
I have decided the $$ spent on this vintage “Hollywood” lens was worth it!

Kinda cliché, but much more interesting than the straight shot

Anyway, I've been nattering away in those, if you could only have 1 lens type threads, and I decide my favourite lens was my 28-105 on the K-. I also realized I hadn't taken an image with it since last month. So, today was 28-105 day on the forest walk.
K-1 and DFA 28-105.
Not in the forest but on the way there.

OK, and now for some woodland images.
Through the fern field...

In my humble anecdotally supported opinion, my guess is the 28-105 is better than most of the FA zooms and primes available in that focal length. The 3D pop and pixie dust are pure Pentax.
No zooming with your feet on this one, I was standing on a bridge.

From my collection I chose to live with M35/2, if I could have only one lens. These shots are from my Single In Challenge month with that lens:

Nice work Porffor, I enjoy this type of abstractness which brings us beyond what we see...

Interesting shots! Since both DA 50 and DA 18-55 shares the same filter threads (52mm), you could get better magnification with your DA 18-55 set to 18, if I am not mistaken (that said, the bigger the magnification is, the hardest the shot is to make, it's true even with a real macro lens).

Much the same view as I posted a bit further up - I just wanted to prove that I'm not a proper photographer, if there was any doubt :)

More of the local stuff, with or without sunsets. Whoops, scratch that - Porffor already ordered pictures of hobbies!

Keep the theme, and better if you rub more salt

Proper photographers don't spend their time talking rubbish on youtube :lol:
This is a three minute walk from home, the shortest route to the woods. I noticed I had titled this "Path to the past" - veeery funny. There are some earth stoves by the tree to the left of the path, dated to about 400 BCE :p
