After walking around this place for a couple of hours we stopped and had a coffee..again. Turned out the other couple at the other table were drinking a glass of great looking beer, so we had one too. It was great. I turned to my left and nearly hit my head on this lamp post. Out came the camera and I manually focused on the post. Another great one to see the bokeh quality of the Skopar. Not too shabby either, and that post is plenty sharp. 

I was thinking of dinner as I was taking this image. Joking. These chickens were roosting everywhere I looked, very colourful creatures. haven't a clue what they're called though.

Truing to see what kind of bokeh this lens delivers. This is ok as far as I'm concerned. I have a feeling though that in some situations it's not so nice. I'll have to try and dig some of those out to post or I'll just try some more scenes out. I was quite close to this branch and the wife added some more interest in the backgrouns as she was collecting acorns for the wild boars. They seem to love them.

The foliage colour is about the only thing I like about autumn. After the leaves have all gone and I know that winter is just around the corner I must admit I get a little depressed. I just can't wait until spring comes around.  

This is the Skopar agin at an aperture of aroun f4 or f5.6. That is one problem I find using these manual focus lenses on either a NEX or m4/3 cameras, either you remember which aperture you take every picture with or...well just forget it. I normally shoot wide open with these lenses but at times I just like to close the lens down and get everything in sharp focus. Here I just needed a couple of these leaves in focus. I was quite near the subject when I took this. 

I must say I love the quality of these lenses and the way reproduce the colour and the rendition in general. Doesn't look digital at all and is a real pleasure to look at. The Skopar 35 f2.5 is very well built and is tiny. Great on either the NEX or m4/3 cameras. You just have to get used to the handling. Very different from a normal DSLR.

Very nice rendition in this image from the Pentax lens. I also have the FA 31 f1.8 which I will have to test. I missed a lot of images using it on the m4/3 cameras because of the difficulty in focusing at f1.8.

I never got around to using this much on a digital Pentax camera. Maybe it was much better on film but it's very nice on the Nex-5N. I must use this a lot more in the coming weeks, especially nice at f1.9.
