OK, here they are... some more shots:

First the plant in b&w, converted with SiverEfex Pro:

("Kent", because that's my nick in the RFF.)

Now the same subject in different variations:


1. Standard colour, out of cam, only some vary basic pp (level, resharpen after resizing)

("Kent", because that is my nick in the RFF.)

2. Standard b/w, out of cam, only some vary basic pp (level, resharpen after resizing)


3. High contrast b&w, out of cam, only some vary basic pp (level, resharpen after resizing)


4. Faded colour ("Retro"), out of cam, only some vary basic pp (level, resharpen after resizing)


5. B&W, converted with SilverEfex Pro



And some "real" shots:

Flowers at f/2.0


Flowers at f/4.0 (stopped down by 2 stops)


My son (b&w, out of cam)


My daughter (colour, our of cam)


Yes, I shouldn't take pictures of them when they are chewing. Wink

BTW, all shots in AWB setting! The difference in white balance is somewhat striking.
Perhaps the cam did not react fast enough to the quickly changing light (sunny with clouds). I will have to observe that ...

Why not? That makes the image alive and much more interesting. The portrait of your daughter is very cute, but formal.
The portrait of your son is informal and full of spontaneity and life, I think it's a beautiful photo and I like it a lot better.

I agree, Orio, completely. I was lying on the floor when I took the photo of Constantin.

But generally, I love the way the Summitar renders portraits!!

It's a top class lens, obviously. A great buy.

I agree the shot of your son is outstanding, and you get that sweet render--plus while some get dizzy with swirls, I love them!

I think you have a keeper there.

I have printed it large (about 16x24cm) and it's amazing indeed.

Not too bad. I paid € 185,- for it (which is a bit lower than the offer you have been given).
