Grape hyacinth (muscari).

I'm not sure I could diagnose the conditions but there is a definite cool cast which manifests itself more in some situations. Your second shot brought this shot of mine to mind - the look of the background stems:




I am told it produces violet tones. I am colour blind and I like the tones produced by this lens - I suppose because faithful reproduction of colour is meaningless to me.

I find the lens is very sharp (pretty much as sharp as anything) but the overall contrast is subtle and that is a look that suits my style. It is one of those lenses that can produce the 3D look. Enjoy.

I was there for that shot, it is a selfie.

A very reasonable price for an outstanding lens. I use it a lot for flower photography and so recognised it straight away. The microcontrast in the centre of the daffodil and the colour on the out of focus stem in the second are telltale.

I think there is a quite obvious typo there. It should read faeces detection.

It's the back of your head, you know that doesn't count.

Well, so far I think the Pentax demographic is following a pattern. This is useful info for Pentax. They can target their marketing accordingly. I suggest Pentax branded comfy slippers (M&S) and pint mugs (the proper ones with a handle that men of a certain age prefer).

With a margarita chaser, classy.

Forums are odd places really. You can interact with people for years without knowing what they look like. I'll go first if anyone cares to join me. This is me and my lifelong companion, Bobsworth:

Whenever I see another Pentax user I greet them. Hasn't happened often though. I didn't see any other Pentaxes in Paris, they were probably all in Skippool Creek.
