I have the same lens, fantastic bokeh but soft at larger apertures and a little lacking in contrast.

Is it the photographer or the lens that makes these pictures beautiful? Because they are...

These are lovely images.
Contrast looks pretty good to me.
Is there a slight yellow tint to the pictures, or am I imagining it?
Beautiful!
OH

I don't think I'm qualified enough to judge an image but that duck looks very sharp! Beautiful colour render as well. Is this lens from former East German Republic? I haver never heard of this brand before.
