As promised, I show you some pictures taken during my recent trip to Bali with a Pentax K10d camera. Here's the list of the lenses I brought along for the trip:

Pentax 10-17/3.5-5.6 Fisheye zoom
Pentax 20/2.8
Arax 35/2.8 Tilt&Shift
Porst 55/1.2
Helios 40-2 85/1.5
Voigtländer 125/2.5
Pentax 300/4.5

When I looked at the pictures taken during this trip, I was quite surprised to find out that my most used lenses were (in this order):
Porst 55/1.2
Voigtländer 125/2.5
Pentax 20/2.8
Arax 35/2.8 Tilt&Shift

The least used lens was the Helios 40-2.

So, here are first a few pictures taken with the Porst 55/1.2:























All the pictures were taken wide open, except No.9 & 11 (the last one).

Abbazz, they tell me that the Arax shiftlens is super sharp.
Can you confirm this?

Incredible series Abbazz, thank you.

I understand that Tilt and Shift on a digital camera will increase CA quite seriously because of the focussing angle of the microsensor. Do you see any of this?

Thanks everybody for the kind words. It was a great holiday: we wandered along the narrow paths in the ricefields around Ubud, climbed on top of the Mount Batur, the second highest volcano on the island, witnessed the sunrise over Mount Rinjani in Lombok Island from aboard a small fishing boat off the coast near Amed, and so many other incredible things. Sorry for sounding so much like a travel brochure Embarassed

To Patrickh and Orio, I will answer regarding the Arax T&S lens in my other thread dedicated to this lens in the Gallery.

Cheers!
