OK, it's taken a battering around these parts recently! How about we MFers do the charitable thing and try to raise the profile of this much maligned lens by pulling them from the depths of our drawers (ooh er!) and taking some good shots with them to:
a) Prove that a decent lens is only one part of the photographic formula
b) Help us sell ours on
The best Domiplan photos from the past will win MF respect, whilst the best from September 2009 (because you've bothered to get it out and use it again) will win the "MFlenses Domiplan September 2009 Challenge as voted by MFlenses readers Award"
Is anyone with me on this? _________________ Graham - Moderator

I'm joking of course. Would never put a lens in the bin. But I did give mine away.
Fun challenge. We did have a thread a couple years ago that was devoted to showing shots from one certain lens every week (or month).
With all the new membership. Maybe we should try that again. _________________ Moderator |

Haha, I was kidding
Peter, those shots are excellent! Proper 1960s Britain
OK, I just shot my lovely girlfriend in the kitchen. This one is at f4, because that's what the lens is stuck at and I've lost the one that's stuck at f2.8
No PP, just white balance (nasty energy efficient lights!!), hand held at 1/25th second

Set the aperture to f11 and give the lens a bang on the table. Works every time for me!
OK, here's my g/f in 1969 (we got married 18 months later)

You know these pics don't look all THAT bad do they? The one of Shrek's g/f has superb softness and smooth bokeh. With better lighting this lens would be ideal for portaits on a crop cam.
Here's a softish one of me and my son in 1978 or 79
