Although it's an AF lens I'm using it manually, so I hope it qualifies for MF 
Both shots wide open.

I like the first one better.
The second one has a bit of a green cast in the skirt and face.
I also see this with my D800 and Pentax lenses, specifically in shade when I use Auto White Balance. It seems to be utterly confused, if it can not find a lens WB profile. (lens without chip, or with chip but not in profile database).
I get much better results with "sunny" white balance and I go from there if some tweaking is necessary. |

thanks much Bernhard, agree, there's a strong green cast mainly from the greenery surrounding my wife . tried to balance it , but it's still there... |

With everything else that this lens camera combo offers, I could live with that - easily fixed in LR5

I'd say such "flaws" add some "film feeling" to the shots...a bit of nostalgia flavor ... |
