Great lens. I foolishly sold mine to fund something else.
Really like that photo of the leaf on the bench, very effective.

I never use zoom lenses just old PK-M and M42 primes. You soon get used to focusing by eye.

Lovely shots. I'm glad you like your lens. I imagine the 50mm focal length would make a great portrait lens particularly as the wide aperture means you can throw the background out of focus.
I find it a bit "long" for the stuff I do. Trixie's suggestion of a 28mm standard is sound. I'd happily take that as my only lens for a day out.

Agreed. I guess my K28/3.5 is one of my most used lenses. It's a brilliant thing.
