Paul,
Nice shots! Your girls are too cute.
Reminds me of my girls when they were little, ... now I'm a Grandpa.
I need to put my Oly to better use. Thanks for reminding me.

More Oly 21 F2 @F2

Yup, I had that lens. Admirable blur, or not...

But then again, how often does one seek/expect great bokeh from a 20mm lens?

It is older than the CV 58/1.4 and an unrelated design. I believe that it is essentially the same as the Tomioka 55/1.2 except made by Cosina and multi-coated. It is in the Pentax K mount and has a 9-blade aperture.

Thanks for the info.

Two from last Saturday when we got finally some light - Carl Zeiss Makro-Planar T* 2/100 ZF @ f/2:

Canon EF300mm f/2.8 L IS USM @ f/4:


	http://www.vahonen.com/picturebank/photos/2009/picture/20090110_14_28_50_300L_F4_1per320s.jpg

The 300L shot ended up having really nice bokeh (my subjective opinion...), lively but also smooth, just the way I like. So sad the lens weights a ton and it's nice to carry around.

How often. Prayer and lots of it.

IMHO more often than not would be the not admirable even when seeking, Just the nature of the beast.

With Leica 180/2.8 (Non-Apo)....

Nice shots Paul, love the colors.

I recently got the lens but the main color here is white, and lots and lots of white. Someday the snow will go away. Glad to see a little snow in the first shot.

At least I know my whites match yours. Now only if the snow would melt I could get some of those other colors you get. Waiting

Thanks...
The Leica lenses thus far did not disappoint me.
I got this lens for a real bargain, and it turned out to be an awesome lens.
Sharpness, colors, and a pretty good bokeh...

Something different. Sigma 8mm F3.5 Circular Fisheye. Not all that memorable.

I may be off on the amount of extension I used as it was a year ago. The second shot I used every EF and FD extension tube I have.

Nice. You've explored some of the very creative possibilities with that lens.

An old shot from 2003. 300D and Canon 50/1.8. Not alternative, I know, but a combination that we don't often see. And apparently in 2003, I was into big, gaudy frames.

I think they show pretty good out of focus area.

I agree. I especially like the one with the for sale sign.
