I can see why you are praising the lens in terms of its crispness and contrast but I find that particular bokeh very jarring - especially as that on the DSLR's controls keeps grabbing my attention.

Nice one.

Hi David

Thanks for the comment! I think the jarring bokeh is just this particular subject, not the lens. The light was shining on the K-5iis, making the buttons into highlights. The lens is great, just need to find a way to keep the aperture pin pushed in so I can use it at all apertures. It's an 'auto only' lens so there's no switch to turn the auto aperture off, which of course is no use on a modern K mount DSLR.

Cheers
David

My view is that the "jarring" bokeh is actually what makes this ....
without that pull to an object in the background the whole meaning of "Ancient & Modern" is lost....
it isn't unpleasant to my eye and highlights the "Modern" dslr, which would otherwise become fairly "lost".

Very beautiful photo. I would also like to learn how to photograph in order to design my new project. I am engaged in the design.
I have an order to decorate a casino with live high-quality photographs.
