Wow, that looks epic. Very nice!
Thanks Richard. I got this lens a month or so ago and this was the only the third time I had mounted it the K-1, big smile on my face when I opened this on screen.

I love no7, great catch and fabulous detail at f/1.4.
No2 is a real beauty too. The amount of light you had to play with suggests a battle but it's delivering beautifully and more importantly realistically. It is handling colours differently than the 50, there is a richer, deeper undercurrent showing up. Kinda like the K55/1.8 vs the K50/1.4, the 55 always had a different look to it.

Lots of character, and sharp as the previous poster said. It does great close ups doesn't it?
Yep it does, not so bad at infinity either but that is really f/8-f/11

Hmm - could just be an optical illusion, Robbie, but to my eye that headshell could do with a bit of a twist to correct the cartridge azimuth. Or perhaps its just that LDR sounds better that way

- Fixed it

Do like the contrast between the 2M Red body and the green vinyl of the LP and certainly sharp enough where it needed to be

It's half the reason I take these photos. Allows me to see what's what I gave it a twist afterwards
Thanks Jon, appreciated.

I haven't received a date yet! Not fussing, it'll arrive when it arrives

The French / German stuff was done with prototypes or pre pre production models. I've seen on twitter a Japanese image of a container load so they are coming.

Some more:

A very complimentary report from Photo Yodobashi

From Yaotomi we have another, google translate is weak on this but the images speak for themselves Yoatomi

I too love the vibrancy of the last two. Poppies are good too but on the second there is a halo effect around the fringes, maybe down to desaturating the background in post processing?
I agree with Rob's comments, and having spotted the halo effect, it is distracting. I prefer the yellow flower shots, and I like number 4 even more when the image is reversed left-right.

Interesting that you say distracting, some enjoy that effect, different eyes, different views. Unfortunately it is not something I can easily erase. Glad you liked the others, thanks for your feedback.

Would be the desaturation. So tick another for the Yellows Thanks for feedback.
