Re: GESO Pool Night Low Light Pics
Looks like it handles high contrast fairly well. 17689333 17690856 where you have the table light in the frame, the light is, of course, all the way to white, but there doesn't appear to be any bloom from the light(if bloom is the word I'm looking for).

Re: GESO Pool Night Low Light Pics
The nice high contrast rendering is probably more to the credit of the DA* 50-135 than the K-3.. I use the other DA* lenses more often, but the 50-135 is probably the best in terms of rendering. Super glass.
