Nice shots Vuk. Is that the FA 50mm f/1.4? If so, I have the same lens and I love it.

actually, i only use manual lenses. it's the SMC M.

[michael_kuhne]

I have the FA, but also the M, which I have owned for 26 years. It was my first Pentax lens. I like both very much. The manual feel of the M lens is especially excellent.

I also enjoyed looking at your fine work, Vuk!

Vuk, nice work. I to have the FA 50MM F/1.4 that I believe every pentaxian should own. I do have a M 50F/2.0 that is pretty good also.

How is the Boken on that lens any way near the canon 50mm 1.4

Thanks, Vuk; always a treat.

With the Bokeh, that's a very subjective land we're in - and even if we get the exact same scene shot with all the manufacturers different 50mm f/1.4 lenses we'd end up with a debate a mile long about who found which more pleasing. Myself, having never owned an EOS 50mm f/1.4 lens, I cannot possibly comment. Something that does interest me at the moment is the different responses of my 50mm 'M' and my 50mm 'FA', and they are different - I can feel it :-), but I don't have the time or the skills of many here to frame a debate on the topic. Nice shots Vuk!

Wonderful use of the SMC-M 50!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!

Awesome Vuk! I very much like your work.

 

I have one of those lenses on hold at a local camera store (waiting for head office to set a price...). I'm planning to use it on my K10D so it's nice to see what it can do.

 

Thank you for posting.

I enjoy what you achieve with isolation of content that fits a generated theme. It clearly

produces purpose in each image and then you give it emotion with subject and/or title.

I hope you show your work. You should consider self publishing.

thanks for the nice words. the fact that i use this lens 99% of the time on my pentax makes it easy to isolate the pictures ;-)

 

as for exhibiting/publishing. i did show for a year and did very well in terms of earnings and awards. the big problem for me was clients wanting me to articulate (not in pictures but conversation) some kind of transcendent meaning. there is plenty of meaning for me, but things will always be hit and miss for the viewer. in the end, it seemed best to just shoot for myself and earn a living by other means.

 

as for bokeh, i also shoot canon and leica (film SLR) and the pentax is right there with (if not slightly ahead of) the canon 50 f/1.4 (which i own), but a hair below the level of a 50mm summicron R. nothing can touch leica in this regard.

Wow! is all I can say about your images. I agree about using a good manual 50mm lens. I love my DA*'s but I really enjoy using my M 50mm f/1.7. There is something about returning to our roots in photography that I sometimes feel the need to do. Someday I'll have to put it up against my Leica 50mm f/2 DR Summicron.
