Wow! Great bokeh. And it looks like you've got some terrific sharpness
and detail on the barn shot and window shot. (I also think you really
nailed the exposures on both of these.) Were they off a tripod? I blew
them up to 300%, and while that causes them to pixelate, I can still get
a feel for how much detail there is in the wood and wall textures. Looks
like you have a winner there. I like the perspective as well. I tend to
favor the 35 over the 28 in 35mm landscape photography, so perhaps I
should go for this lens before I buy a 55/4. That $750 price tag seems
quite reasonable.
I did some tests for sharpness and detail with the 150/2.8. (The
appraisals of this lens seem to vary widely.) I was pleased with the
sharpness and color rendition. The bokey is so-so. There's a lo-res scan
from an ektachrome transparency on the upper left corner of this page
The page is somewhat slow loading, as it includes six images.
