Pumpkin Test
This seasonal image is from the first test roll through the Pentax ME Super that I wrote about a few days ago here.
I made this image with a 50mm lens, at f1.4 as I wanted to see how it looked wide open.
I’d say it looks good, very sharp!

Very timely! And very attractive – the focus is JUST in the right place, for me anyway, and I like the way the softness slides in around it.

Thanks Lynn, there is something seductive about very shallow depth of field, too seductive as it is overused. But testing cameras and lenses provides a pretty good excuse 🙂

I don’t think anyone needs an excuse for a photo like this!

That is kind of you! I was thinking in general terms, shooting consistently at f1.4 can result in missed shots. I see quite a lot of that out there. But there are many instances where it is appropriate, or there is just no choice.
