Thank you Oiche! I couldn't have said it better. :-) Regards Anton

The position of the focus ring is exactly the same as on the FA 77mm ltd at the front of the lens directly after the built-in lens hood. I totally agree the focus ring feels a little wobbly. ...

Thank you Miles! The design of the lens hood (built-in, slide out) and the position of the focus ring is exactly the same as on the FA 77mm ltd. But I'd prefer the suffix "WR" over the suffix ...

Thanks a lot Peter! And congratulations on your long relationship. Anton

Thank you Tom! Anton

Thank you! Aside from macro photography, I have not yet succeeded in creating a pleasant bokeh with the DFA 100mm f/2.8 WR. Anton

I am not sure if I would buy a 90mm version since I already have a 77mm version: FA 135mm f/2.8 FA 77mm f/1.8 ltd :-) Anton

Inspired by the release of the HD FA 35mm f/2.0 I would suggest to release a new HD FA version of the FA 135mm f/2.8 although I wouldn't buy it because I'm also very happy with my SMC version. :-) ...

and it produces a different result for any user :-) Anton

Hello Peter, My attempt to simulate your processing with ACDSee Pro 8 with Silkypix DS Pro 9. I started with my attempt from yesterday. Then I reduced the contrast, applied more noise reductions ...

Thank you Peter! Well done! Because I am curious, I will try to achieve a similar result with Silkypix tomorrow. But I don't know if I will succeed. Regards Anton

No problem! :-) The original one has also a special expression. But the processed photos are more like the impression I got when I saw the scene. Regards Anton

With pleasure, Peter! Link to a wetransfer ZIP file with the original RAW, the JPG out of camera and my result with SILKYPIX Developer Studio Pro 9: https://we.tl/t-slHyjmO5oT I do not know how ...

Thank you Jim! Anton

Dear Holger! First, I want to thank you for your many valuable contributions. I assume you live in a beautiful area of Germany near the North Sea coast. I would be very happy if you occasionally ...

I was a little too careless with the gradient in the contrast curve and got too much noise in the shadows. This one is a little more carefully worked on. I also reduced the sharpening parameters ...
