Seem to work pretty well! I especially like the fact that it shows quite a bit of shadow details. And here it is @F1.9: http://www.dragonsgate.net/pub/richard/PICS/p43/EPSN5436.jpg I think the bokeh is kind of ugly. Not horrible, but nothing to write home about. This is from the Pentax 43/1.9L on a R-D1. Honestly speaking, I put it a somewhat low bid, not a bargain low, but I thought is reasonably low bid, and, well, somewhat surprisingly, I won :-) He turns out to be a friend of Joseph Yao too.... The lens is quite nice. It's similar to the latest summicron in size, may be a tad bigger. Looks like a nice shooter. // richard (This email is for mailing lists.
