The lighting on the #3, #8, and #9 are good. For the others it seems far too intense, washing her out. I think a little PP to level off that strong directional sun would go a long ways.

Thank you Marc! Over exposed over burned pictures was part of plan I did try to make less common shoots.

Oh ok. I understand. In my personal experience, I always found digital made overexposed pictures rather harsh looking but on film it seems softer and more delicate. Also on film they are more recoverable, if the overexposure wasn't intentional. This may have something to do with dynamic range of digital vs. film, I'm not sure. Maybe it's worth exploring more on film?

More exploring never harm try to short it out , in my opinion too.

No it was stopped down, but basically same sharp at all aperture.

I am pretty sure you heard of it already, nowadays go around 1000 USD.

Some more shoots taken by this lens.

Wonderful model and a great lens indeed Attila! [I agree with Marc, the light is too harsh and
turn to burn out highlights (in my opinion)]
