Pictures are great but i did not like the frame, its scary for such portraits

[poilu]

congrats tF! nice portraits, look like a high contrast lens, we will wait the outdoor samples

[tobbsman]

what I can see in these lovely portraits is that this lens has a lot of potential. looking forward to see some outdoor samples ...

Cheers

thanks for your comments --

well, it's quite hard to focus with this lens -- the DOF is SO narrow!

this picture is taken in LiveView mode -- focused on the newspapers

I would say -- 3D or not?

exp. 1/15, ISO 1000, f/2.5 (wide open)



first impression -- this lens has a good colour balance..

So you have one, Trifox !

Nice.
Effectively, it seems to have a good colour balance.

The shots are excellent, and the lens is obviously a very good one! My favourite is the last one (newspaper reading): very good 3D!

I have a problem with the ham red faces though. I think you'd better tweak the reds and oranges a bit in LR.

[trifox]

Hi Orio -- yes the red and orange colours annoy me a lot ..

I need to reduce them in LR --

In this case, I left these pictures without too many adjustments but -- I know what you mean

-- too much orange and red in face is horrible !

Otherwise -- this lens doesn't have any CA even wide open -- or I can see any so far -- but the best test will be tree branches against the sun -- well, if there's any in these days . ..

thanks for all comments again.
