Well, short-sighted I am... wearing lenses since forever. :-)
And you're correct, since everything now is made with some degree of
photoshop. And before that, with layers of nylon if needed. I just can't
shake some of my old beliefs... wich would place this sharp lens as
product, not
Nope, that's just Dad being Dad.

Well PS can take care of that. Going the other way is just a tad more
difficult so wanting a lens to be soft because it is used to take
portraits is, IMO, at least short-sighted.

Excellent portrait! I really like this one. Although one can never
judge such things fully on the web, the detail appears to be superb.

Nicely done portrait. A double duty - good portrait and good test
shot. The lens looks quite nice, indeed. I don't shoot my FA 50/1.4
that much, but maybe, I'd like this lens - on film my old favorite
portrait lens was the FA* 85/1.4.

A fine portrait Bill. He shows a lot of character. And the lens looks
like a performer. It is good to see so much details, from a non over

But I wouldn't be so sure about the good friend part. He looks a lot
mote attached to the camera than to you.
Nice portrait. I see he has excellent taste in camera equipment. ];-)
Enjoy the DA*55. Looks like another top-notch Pentax lens.

This lens seems to be the new A*85 ? Good shot.

Excellent picture to show the capabilities of the lens. I am convinced :)
What I would like to ask is the performance of the lens? How fast it
focuses and how precise the focus with the K20D? How much it hunts in
low light? How much post process included on the picture?
Sorry for being such a

I suppose I should burn all the thousands of portraits I made between
1968 and 2000 using my Nikon SLRs, eh? Or this one made with a Nikkor
105/2.5AI lens ...

Sigh ... it's still not in stock anywhere in Canada that I can find;
vendors are showing it as special order, or coming soon. But even if it

It´s a very nice portrait. As far we can see it as a lot of detail and
sharpness. Because to me
Sharpness is not a bourgeois concept...
