The blue is outstanding! And, this is quite a fine portrait, especially since
you are using the 28mm lens, which I assume is about 56mm equivalent?
I love the textural detail. This has GOT to be a "keeper" lens, correct?

I'll try to dig out some wide open shots. It's OK, but suffers flare when shooting at night with bright lights.

I just bought this in FD mount. I am really impressed with the results. It is decent sharp even wide open. Compared to Vivitar 24/2 this is a much better lens. I will add my samples on this thread rather than starting a new one. These are taken at f2 with Olympus E-P2.
For some reason I can't upload so these are links to tumblr. |

Lovely portrait. You have to know someone real well to get that close for a portrait on a 28(42).  I have this and a couple of their zooms - not one is less than good.

I agree, great portrait, but I'm trying to figure out the scene. Your wife, I assume, looks dressed for a festive party, but you seem to be in a procession walking through a cemetery. I hope this wasn't a funeral.

Lol, most of our churches are surrounded by graves.
Graham how does this compare to your Ultron |

The Ultron has more contrast wide open and is a bit sharper in the corners at wider apertures. Is it £200.00 better though for a non-rangefinder camera? Probably not unless you want really sharp shots at high ISO at f/2. But then I'd rather get a Nikkor 28/2, despite its size
