Impressive sharpness on the subject only knocking everything else out. It's usual for me to only get part of the insect/other subject in focus when using larger appertures.

I've chased these many times and never managed a shot like this. Nice one - especially the OOF surroundings.

Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

My comment got lost somewhere in posting a couple of days ago

I like it! The colours are great and the butterfly is sharp where it matters most.
