Hi everybody,

I'd like to confirm with badgerhill in the post below that this lens is great. I take this pictures with Panasonic DMC L1 in Dynamic film function in this camera. It took a great color and skin tone.

Thanks for visit me.

Beautiful modell, but background is harsh to me like many Russian do or AF lenses on same way.SMC Takumar 85mm or any Carl Zeiss make better bokeh in my opinion.

Lovely model and interesting POV.
I would crop some on the left, and for my taste, the saturation is a bit too high.

The realism in the rendering of the baby's skin is absolutely amazing.
