This is an image I took earlier on this year. ISO 800 with aperture wide open f2.5

The colour is rich and the bokeh is stunning. Good lens for macro shooting after all.

It has been sitting on the shelf for too long :)

That Bokeh truly is creamy. Looks like a very very good lens to have in your kit

nice shot and to have as much dof as this at this aperture....wow. Great bokeh too. Enjoy.

Great image, and my main interest is in the funky background.

I reckon the highlight in the flower is just blown.

As Rick said too about the bokeh.

Legendary lens :th3: has a stellar reputation and this looks superbly good for wide open and ISO800 too.

Is this on your Pentax?

....do I need to get an adapter to use it on my Nikon? :p
