No it looks like a great lens, only said it because he needed to crop some even at 100%
ps. sorry for reviving so many old photos, just seem so pity that they didn't got a comment

Hey, these are great 1, 5 and 8 are the best for me. The focus in 1 in spot on, and the toad is so dry and crusty it looks positively prehistoric. Really cool I love the sharpness of the flower and bee in number 5, nice bokeh too. And obviously a bee sticking its butt in the air is always good! I like the green-ness in number 8, and the composition suggests a dragonfly walking up a green hill, with lovely scenic bokeh in the background. I like it!
PS I have that lens, it's probably my favorite, nice to see someone else's images with one.
PPS Stefan, good idea going through these unanswered threads!

Thanks for reviving these, I totally forgot about taking them.
I would recommend this lens to anyone, I'm not sure how to quantify when a lens is 'good' but for sharpness, bokeh and build it would be quite hard to beat (for an 85mm).

A slightly different light/angle:
A bit more subdued:
All were taken on a K20D with Super Multi Coated Takumar 85mm/1.8, mostly round about f8 towards the near focus limit, all cropped to some extent, up to 100% in some cases I think.
C&C welcome.
