Landscapes (mostly stopped down to f/8 and f/5.6):

1.


2.


3.


4.




Portraits (all wide open!):

1.

4.


5.


Finally a 100% crop of one of the portraits. Not bad for a almost 55 year old lens, eh?

Portraits are amazing, fresh, clear pictures. I am not impressed by landscape shoots.

Very nice results !

I love very much #1 from Landscapes and the perfect lively #3 from Portraits.

Yes Peter, the portrait shots are superb and they show a lot of the personality.

With respect to the landscapes - they are technical ok. But since we have seen the great landscape panos of other members here we have to work hard to achieve the actual standards. Wink

Thanks everyone! Yes, there are a few superb landscape shooters on this forum and it's quite a task to try to reach their quality. But I'll learn it eventually Smile Oh, I see that one of them has responded in this topic Very Happy

I'm actually quite amazed by the portraits myself. So much quality from a lens of nearly 55 years old... Thank to mr. Ryohei Suzuki, the designer.

Peter, the first portraits of your daughter last week were the hit too.
It seems that this lens is the "perfect" portrait lens

I have added a 100% crop to the first post. Pretty amazing I think!

I like the portraits, they are very fresh and unmannered - like all of your portraits for that matter.
