Thanks, Bruce. You see, at 38mm of focal length is not portrait lens per se. However given the crop it turns to something like 58mm as far as angle of view goes and that's not bad. I made some group portraits of my girls and I quite liked the result.

I used to have F 85/2.8 soft which was obviously more mature, but it was heavy and on the cropped sensor it was too narrow AOV... While the likes of 50-60mm of EFL seem to be my sweet spot...

Beautiful, Boris. Other than the bright red product placement, this
could be a postcard or Christmas card. I really like it!

That lens is rather too short for portraits but would produce very
interesting results.

Hi!

Have a look here:

http://pentax-ways.blogspot.co.il/2014/01/2014-03-grocery-store.html

This shot was made with my freshly acquired soft lens. It is one of a kind
lens that I ordered from a guy who makes all kinds of photography related
works including some very interesting lenses.

This one is Chevalier landscape lens and it was made to my custom order in a
barrel with native Leica mount, though no rangefinder coupling. The focal
length is 38 mm.

I am very happy about the shots I've been getting from it.
