Gary, Bob, Lieutenant, Ronny - Thank you !!

Hexonxonx - Very nice. Nice capture of soft light, which works great for 1.4 WO shot.

Bob - Beautiful star field ! Great shot.

hmzimelka - Interesting experiement. Love the color.

pingflood - Nice portrait. BW works well with the mood.

Gary - Love your series. It has very interesting symmetry. First three shots with subject on the left, turnig towards the viewer, then the last one to flip it. FIrst shot ( with your son ? ) showcases the great color and bokeh of 35 2 I has always loved. I can feel the water on my feet!

user222 - Good showcase of 100MP's detail.

Jochen - Nice capture ! Love that light and sky/

niconimages - Beautiful set ! For the first set, I prefer the duotone version. Great find. It feels like a Big Brother surveillance robot staring at you.

Hugo - Wow ! That is gorgeous. Did you do light painting or was it existing light ?

Lieutenant - Stunning. Great contrast light and dark. Super composition !

Grenache - Amazing color from 25/2. The very first shot, the bokeh is quite melty and yum.

Fantastic view Akul.

It was light painting.

Cyra, 25/2 is sharp close up, but the rental I had was not 0.4x max magnification. It was more like the 0.25x of so many other lenses. Infinity was fine, so don't know if its helicoid got messed with or if it started that way.

The shot with funky bokeh had light coming through the trees onto fine grasses and stems...very challenging. In general, the bokeh on the 25, close or far, is nice and buttery.

Akul, I had to pull back on the saturation some on the 25 shots. Just incredible how it handled colors.

ok, thanks Grenache

Picture This! nice capture!

Picture This! Picture That! Nice one.

I visited London over an extended weekend this last one. Oh man, what potential for streetphotography! I couldn't really take advantage of it as I was there with my girlfriend, but my fingers itched all weekend through.
Coming from some backwater capital like Stockholm I'm envious of you guys living in 'real' cities. I had more photo-ops in London during an hour than I have in in Stockholm during a year.

Anyway, I wanted to travel light and only brought the 2/28, 2/35 and 1.4/50 but only used the 28 (there is almost nothing as too wide in cities in my experiences).

Anyway, as I said, didn't have opportunity to take many 'street' photos, but I manage a handful of which I've only edited one really

@ Rodluvan : yep it sucks when you live yearly in an area rather narrow in photographic " gamut " whereas there are other places like candy stores on steroids
And I agree : on cities wide is recommended !
The good news is that you don't have to travel that much to have a taste of the real thing : no tourists there in the pic under ( 5D3 + 35f1.4@f1.4 )

Jochenb : I'am not a dog fan, not into portrait at all, hate over 99+ % of B&W pics ( sorry ) but your portrait of " Iza " is just uber top notch

Same for Lieutenant Z Jaguar shot : a car transformed into a multi mirror / color array !

Luka: Great as usual.. love it :-)
Picture This: impressive image... really good :-)
Really good Daniel :-)

Wow, I thought this place had died, nothing new for almost 12h.

Thanks Ronny.


Hexonxonx is your shot taken in the Vatican or is it just a sign for whatever reason?

@Rodluvan : it's just a rural place in France free of google street ( for now )

Ronny -like that last one, nice light
