One of my favorite 135mm lens, is weather was dull when you did take this pictures ? I love dog portraits and drunk or home less guy portrait also excellent , perhaps in a b&w conversion will be looks even better.

yes, very cloudy today with little snow falling

that guy probably had hangover from last night Wink

If pictures taken on a dull day I think have to fix contrast and light before presentation , this lens is really stunning, but due crappy weather people see it like an average performer lens.

In raw you can fix more in my opinion some where between mine and yours closer to mine Laughing Laughing

i rarely use RAW, only if i shoot something really important, then i shoot RAW+JPEG so i can recover the photo from RAW file if i screw up the JPEG

In dull weather I think RAW format is a life saver this Husky portrait is stunning really.

Drunk guy can be real dramatic too with lot more contrast in my opinion.
