Hi Pentaxians Against a uniform background like the blue sky or grass the Tamron SP 70-150mm Soft Focus portrait zoom produces a nice dreamy look at F2.8-4.0. If the background is too busy it shows quite a harsh rendering.
Two uncropped photos for you to show the soft focus effect on the K10D at F4. ISO 100 and 1/500 and 1/90 sec + B+W polarizer and soft focus ring setting 2 of 3: http://www.mypage.bluewin.ch/solicom/tamronsoft1.jpg http://www.mypage.bluewin.ch/solicom/tamronsoft2.jpg As a normal very fast zoom the Tamron + KA adaptall2 adapter produced again some wonderful photos in the last days on the K10 for me. Despite the weight I can really recommend this lens. Comments welcome Greetings Markus -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
