I've just downloaded my images from a studio shoot today, and was looking at some portraits taken with my Pentax 50-135, its SO sharp I nearly cut myself on the pictures, here's a 100% unprocessed crop from the RAW file.

My Canon and Nikon buddies with me are very jealous of this lens.

The image needs cropping, and then I will turn it through around, and hopefully it will look weird and disorient the viewer.

The pictures were taken in a friends home studio, and he uses Paterson Interfit flat panel studio strobes - now discontinued, they are very similar to the Sunpak digitFLASH strobes, and they are flat (like a Plasma/LCD TV) but need no softbox as they are already soft, so they are great for using in smaller studios.
