Agreed, some shots with really unique colors and tones. The first one, Greg, is a stunner. And love the colors and composition of yours, bpark42.

Thanks. I just got that Zuiko 28/2 a few days ago. I never really planned to do any macroish work with it, but paired with a 12mm tube, it is great for flowers!

I say there's nothing wrong with seeing a hexagon here and there.

50mm Summicron, 36-mm tube, Canon 1.4x TC. Somewhere between f/4 and f/8.

Back with another from the Zuiko 28/2 + 12mm tube on a 1DIII. Somewhere near wide open I think

Thanks Ralph! I think the Nikon magnifying eyepiece certainly helps - thanks to you!

Nikkor 50/1.2 AI @ f/1.2 on D700:

Quite a mess, but I actually like it! Even though there is a bright outline to the blur discs, the edges are smooth. What is worse is the LCA. Look at the greenish glow in the transitions from light to dark in the sweater of the guy to the right.

You have to ask? It's quickly becoming my favorite lens, overshadowing even the Rokkor 58 and Nikkor 105.

I'm still looking for a sensational 35/1.4 though. I have a thing for this focal length, it works out well for street photography.

Here is how it looks when stopped down, f4:

Nice! (It's my fav too)

9-bladed aperture showing good form, there

I'll have some shots from Sunday's wedding to show you sometime this week. This lens is just ridiculously good

Please do, I look forward to it.

It was a toss up between the old grandpa SSC and the FD L, I'm glad I went for the SSC instead, considering how close in price they were.

The octagonal aperture iris can be found on many 8-bladed versions, including the new EF L I and II, but 9 blades exclusively hold something special to the SSC version.
