Some more amazing photos from Batis.
Have you done a lot of post process on those?
Could you show SOOC of the first one?

Have you done a lot of post process on those?
Could you show SOOC of the first one?
Thanks for the kind words! Not a lot of post—mostly basic Lightroom adjustments. Sure, I can post the SOOC of the first one when I get a chance. For reference, the first image was processed with: Exposure +35, Contrast +16, Highlights 0, Shadows 0, Whites +48, Blacks -25, Saturation 0, Temp 5000K (as shot), Vignette -36, plus sharpening.

Agreed — the Batis 85 is still a fantastic lens with plenty of character, and after all these years I still really enjoy using it. Here’s an image I took with the Batis 85 many years ago.
