Some at the Arboretum with a Sears 50mm 2.0 lens

[alfredo]

Mind you, with Micro 4/3 sensors you have a 2X crop, so now that 50mm is a 100mm telephoto. I shot wide open and toward the low sun.

Here's the album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/alfredo_tomato/albums/72157657572704161

1. These are just stunning, alfredo...

I am blown away.

Thank you!

[alfredo]

3. Thank you. I had no idea how these images would turn out.

I'm still not that familiar with the lens.

[NV Whino]

2. Wonderful!

The light is amazing.

[alfredo]

4. Thanks. The golden hour lived up to its reputation.

5. Outstanding! Truly.

You did good!

[alfredo]

6. Thanks. I went out again today with a 28/56mm lens, and I couldn't get the same feel.

I still got some OK shots.

[Solly Mack]

7. That happens. Losing the feel.

9. Even though 100mm is not the focal length I like, this lens has a boat load of character.

It has enough reach so I don't have to tromp through the flower bed to snag a photo.

This lens is making me consider the highly regarded Sigma 60mm 2.8. That will give me 120mm, perfect for street portraits and other such subjects. At $200, it's a steal.

[Solly Mack]

11. That is a deal. A lens you love is a wonderful thing.

[alfredo]

12. I love playing with legacy glass.

[Solly Mack]

13. I love playing with water.

[alfredo]

14. Ha!

[Solly Mack]

15. Silly.

8. These are beautiful!

Great job.

[alfredo]

10. Thanks. It was fun.

16. Do you do anything with your photos?

I mean these pictures are marvelous, all of them. Put out a calendar, I'd buy it. And then save it when it's done.

[alfredo]

17. I really don't do anything with the photos other than share, and on occasion, gift them.

Thanks for the good words though.

It was like my last hobby of kite building. I enjoyed making them more than flying them. The visualizing it the fun part.
