SMC K135/2.5 - Green power
View previous topic :: View next topic

I love especially the differences in green color that the SMC K135/2.5 can produce. This works very nice in forests/meadows etc ...

A lot of this photographs are done at f2.5.

Shot in the Netherlands, Zeeland, het "Veerse Meer", Gouden Plaat. Maybe Spotmatic you know this beutiful place ...

What exactly do you mean with oof ?

The zone between focus and out of focus, very smooth and pleasing

It has been replaced as an observation by the more fashionable "boke". Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

No I didn't do any PS, converted from raw with just a tiny bit of sharpening.

Damn you, now I have to find a copy of this lens, it looks like a superior optic. And I hate 135mm lenses in general too. Rolling Eyes

I really like the musical notes on the barb wire fence.

Laughing oh I'm talking transition to bokeh which if we give it a good name (how's "Toke"?) can become as much a brand name obsession as bokeh is.

SMC 135/2.5 is not that rare lens, it shows up in auctions frequently.

A bit too much sharpening to my taste, but overall those pictures are very nice!
