Why is it everywhere you go these days, there's always a couple of Canadians roughhousing and making spectacles of themselves?

Thanks Worldinlens & carstenw.
More R images taken from Glen Affric and Glen Cannich, in the Scottish Highlands. From my limited experience to date, the R primes have the edge over the zooms even stopped down, but for my hiking needs, the 28-90 & 80-200 zooms are the lenses in the rucksack.
Leica R zooms and particulary those two have edge over most regular primes from Canon. Very nice photos, they just seem tiny bit low on contrast. I guess you tried to maintain natural look and dont push it to be "general pleasing for everyone"?

Jon, I enjoy your set very much. They all well processed with good reality and mood.
I am looking forward to use 80-200 on my camera someday. I have the lens but no body to put on.
some 35lux R shots from Disney weekend, very few of non-family shots from that trip.

Alberto, R35/2 E48 have a extreme sharpness on WO and nice bokeh. I think return to this lens..

Beautiful shots Jon - You are making me very homesick for Scotland. Before migrating to Aus > 20 years ago, the annual holiday was always driving/hiking in the Highlands and islands
This humble one is a much smaller world, as autumn deepens here in the Antipodes.

Playing around with my 6D and 50 cron combo. Portraits are coming out great. I especially enjoy the closeness you can get with the 50 while preserving the shallow DOF and soft look. If my picture isn't good enough, I'm not close enough

Ah, I wouldn't know about the performance of Canon regular primes, the 28-90 and 80-200 are fine lenses, but optically have some deficiencies, I'll post some images in this thread to illustrate this point at a later date. To be honest, I'm happy with the natural look and keep post processing to a minimum in Apple Aperture for web output, ref attached screen shot. Thanks Mescalamba, for your kind comment and to everyone else too, they are much appreciated.

Thanks, the more I use this lens the more I fall in love with the colors it can produce. This and the Nikon AI-S 55mm f2.8 are turning out to be my favorite short macro lenses.
