A Ladybird Heads Off...
I like this style Steve - if I look back at the Ladybird shots I have taken the vast majority are technically good but actually quite boring because of the sunny, crisp lighting - your shots have more character and warmth with the low sun backlighting, number 2 being the pick of the crop (IMO). ...

Two from West Australia
Shipped it back Barrie. Original black exhaust pipes and new engine bars at the Whistlestop at Whitby and now with chrome exhausts at Reeth. Back on the road on the 1st July having SORN'd it at the start of lock down. Best regards

G & T anyone
Stylistic feedback: The point of focus is typically the subject matter, but in your case the glass itself is out of focus, but the stem is in focus. My eyes are darting to the TV remote and the end of the pen and the stem, but not the drink. Side consequence of razor thin/wide aperture lens, but ...

G & T anyone
Thanks for the comments Guys :) Richard, completely agree with your observations regarding the point of focus, I did try to find a better focus point, but couldn't get clarity on the lemon slice due to the misty outside of the glass so went for the stem and outline of the glass - it's not a gre...

An unexpected bonus!
Of the set, number 3 would be my go to shot - it just has that that little extra detail and crispness, to my eye, in the sepals, petals, stamens and anthers of the flower that the hoverfly is feeding from :P By contrast, I find the muted colours and soft focus of the other,with the possible excep...

First set from the D-FA* 85mm f1.4
Oh my word you've done this lens justice. Every single image has an excellent focal point - and I'd highlight number 7 because as I scrolled down I was looking for the 'in focus' bit, and boy did it deliver. It's obvious that a tool like this absolutely highlights a good photographer's abiliti...

Another month and another lens :)
Hey Robbie, Looks like that lens had delivered, been considering one myself, however I tested one a few months back and I think I must have had a bad copy. Really couldn't get the focus/image sharp even at lower f-stops. looks like you have a better copy! very nice.

New lens... DFA* 85mm 1.4
Different subject matter, same brilliant results. I'm actually interested in how unforgiving this lens might be - any bit of missed focus will be very obvious.

Hmmm... 85mm - Which is Which ?
Number 1 has to be the FA*85 or I take all the positive things I said about the DFA back. The one thing that screams D-FA is that plane of focus that's razor thin and razor sharp. I don't see it in the first image. Although on reviewing the images again for aberrations, the first image doesn't r...

Hmmm... 85mm - Which is Which ?
So the photographic question that this raises is: For what sort of photos would the FA*85 be best and for what sort would the D-FA* be best? Of course, I speak as someone who has neither and has no interest in acquiring either, so don't have to answer the equally important question: Can I afford...

It's come out well. The wife had been going through my recent Flickr set as I had mentioned that I'd be doing the Singles-in stuff to get me back into the game, quote, "x, y, & z are better I think but you know Max will get that explorer thing, people like animals, and cat people really like cat pic...

By popular demand.... Rio and the DFA* 85mm
I think what is going to define this lens is the way it transitions from in-focus to the out of- focus areas. There are better examples of it than I have demonstrated here. It is the same quality the FF LTD lenses display.

First ride out post lock down
Were Looking forward to Whitby back end of the month, should have been for the Steampunk Weekend :( the campsite was pre-booked so we may as well enjoy the break. I'll be taking my Q as well, just waiting for a 15-45 to arrive from Japan, I'm hoping the "Plague" is preventing them collecting import ...

Minimalist Tree Trunks
There's a tree on the dog walk that's been intriguing me for months. It looks like it's a candidate for a photo or two, but nothing had worked. I don't know why, perhaps it's the lie of the land making it difficult to get a good angle on it. But yesterday I turned the Sigma 105mm macro on it and saw...

Minimalist Tree Trunks
You might be able to achieve a bit more sharpness by stepping back and then cropping later on, it's the out of focus areas that make the image distracting. The idea is worth another try though, and I think the horizontal probably has more to it than the vertical.

Minimalist Tree Trunks
Thanks for your thoughts, folks. Keep 'em coming! :) A bit of background. The tree is on sloping ground, the path runs along the contour uphill of the tree. You can move uphill away from the tree or downhill towards the tree, but that changes your height relative to the tree. So if you're shootin...

First walk with the D-FA* 85mm f1.4 (image heavy)
Thanks for the comments guys :D Lockdown has been responsible for me venturing up onto the hills so often lately David, great way to keep (or get) fit and so good for mental health :wink: Stuart - I haven't done direct comparisons but I would make a few observations and share my feelings - The...
