Beautiful photo - is that the DFA* or the FA, if it's the latter then it's particularly impressive

It is the old FA lens. Yes a great performer. i bought it a few years back off a forum member. I have been finding that it is a great walkabout lens to put on the K1 when I don't want the weight of a big zoom.

I know it's capable of sharp images, but the background looks particularly nice and there's a pleasing slight "glow" in Rio's beautiful locks

It would be interesting to see the old and new versions together to see what's different.A rework of an old image.
Lovely picture of a beautiful dog. Made me think of Marilyn Monroe!

I wondered exactly the same thing and thought it must be the new DFA*. I'm amazed that it's the old FA version - sharpness and out-of-focus rendering are superb.

I think it illustrates the fact that a great photo is far more to do with the photographer than the equipment, and Peter has shown us a fair few examples of that fact

Oh yes! A good example of creative cropping.Here we are. Too many distracting elements in the original, with the bright areas and oof body/tail
Interesting to see body/tail in the original. I had assumed Rio was sitting. It shows how easy it is to misread a picture!

I like both versions, 1 being the classic portrait, 2 bringing a touch of quirkiness and humour. Tight DOF indeed, and great rendering!
