To complement the K lens thread, here is one from the recent snow. I took it for the juxtaposition comp but went with the barbed wire photo instead.

K-50mm, f/1.2 @ f/1.2.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Kris,

It would have done well in that comp too, IMHO. Marvellous, ethereal feeling in this image.

Lovely image. Seems much sharper than I would have expected for 1.2!

Thanks for the kind comments, this was the image I initially rejected from that day! K.

"Shetland Ponies" and "Snowed in" in my portfolio were two of the photos from that day, along with my entry for the juxtaposition competition which was badly (due to lack of time) edited. Here is the better version:

There are one or two others I haven't edited yet.

On the way home I realised that my comment about the image being rejected might be mis-interpreted as big-headedness (if such a word exists). Here is the unprocessed image (just resized and converted from RAW to jpeg in Lightroom). As you can see it wasn't an inspiring image on first glance!

Best wishes, Kris.

BTW Coincidentally I had a box of Kodachrome slides delivered today which were from the same shoot. Some of those were OK too. I'll try and get some scans. K.

Kris, it's often about what you want to see and not exactly how camera records it... your tree shot is great example
