Some simple test shots. It does create some purple fringing in contrasty situations, as can be seen in the last shot.

You always seem to "collect" some great light in your pictures, like you're
cheating somehow, but I don't know how. Laughing Wink

The portrait is superb: lighting, focus, ultra-smooth bokeh in the BG, and look at those colors!

Thanks guys! The Pentax colors are always superb and yes, somehow that's cheating (especially to Canon and Nikon users) Laughing

Yes, you have a very, very good eye for special light set-ups as well as a great cam and a superb pp.

The perfect package. Wink

nr. 2 is what it is all about with these potrait lenses. A great image!

Is it taken wide open?
