Thank you Mike. RemcoR

Thanks Peter. Yes, its a special place indeed, well worth a visit. RemcoR

Just got back from the Lake District. Took the SMC Pentax FA 35/2 AL with me to see what the old gal was capable of as a landscape lens. Boy, have I neglected this little gem! Ullswater RemcoR

Chill out man. You have a need to point at the fact it isn't true 3D. We all know that. What people mean when talking about 3 D is a picture has a 3D look. When a subject is jumping at you from ...

All the more confirmation of my point: even they recognise the special IQ/3D of Contax/Zeiss lenses. RemcoR

Apparently the IQ of the Contax 35-70 esp. the 3D quality of this lens is lost on you, just as the 3D on thethe p from the OP were to me. The oof/dof of the Contax when I want to have it is just fine:

My old Contax Zeiss gives 3D without pp. This was at F5.6 or 8, so the out of focus area wasn't even very soft. RemcoR

I didn't see the 3D eighter. Needs a ltd lens or a Zeiss to get the most of this 3D rendering. RemcoR

Great capture! Nice skintones and a hint of 3D. Did you do much if any pp? RemcoR

I like it! RemcoR

Only if you like its funky bokeh... RemcoR

I agree Peter, pp gives you much more control. I am curious what you would do with this one, city of Utrecht, a canal made from 1390-1393, taken with the 35-105/3.5. Original: https://flic.kr/p/pancej

Hi Peter, The alterations makes it a bit too HDR-ish for my taste, but that is just personal. I didn't do anything to the original and some may find it a bit underexposed, but it made the light on ...

Placed 20^th in the challenge.

Now we got that out of the way I even dare to mention this one https://www.pentaxforums.com/lensreviews/SMC-Pentax-K-20mm-F4-Lens.html RemcoR

Finally showing your feminine side. Well done Sir! SMC Pentax-A 35-105 F3.5 RemcoR

I almost didn't dare to suggest this little (wait for it!) Pentax gem to you. https://www.pentaxforums.com/lensreviews/SMC-Pentax-K-28mm-F3.5-Lens.html RemcoR

The corner problem seems only relative: http://www.oocities.org/ilprode/_28f28.htm Could it be you had a 28/2.8 lemmon? RemcoR
