Flowers with Converto Tamron 2.8/135mm

[Toeteraar]

One of the older ones in my collection. I found it last summer with the dedicated converter.

For this series i used the lens without the converter. What remains is a nice preset 135 that gives rather sharp details and beautiful colors. The Tamron is quite heavy so i mounted it on the Pentax K20.

Hi!

I especially like #3, very good flower portrait composition.

The lens looks sharp and admirably flat-field from these photos. But the images all look like they have pretty low saturation and/or low contrast to me. Was the light very dim and flat on the day you took the photos? Is this level of contrast and saturation typical of this lens?

Cheers!
