I never got around to using this much on a digital Pentax camera. Maybe it was much better on film but it's very nice on the Nex-5N. I must use this a lot more in the coming weeks, especially nice at f1.9.

This is the Pentax FA 43 f1.9. Very nice lens but I didn't like it on the Pentax digital cameras, didn't perform at all but once I've got it on the Nex and used manual focus it's suddenly very nice indeed. The auto exposure and WB on teh Nex is very good as can be seen above.

Took three lenses out last weekend. Wanted to test them all on the Sony Nex-5N. Very impressed with them all. I could have one lens that is decentered, but only at one or two aperture settings. Must test them again to make sure. I wasn't sure how they would perform on the larger senson in the Nex-5N. I think I was worrying for nothing, they all performed admirably. This is one from the Voigtlaender 75 f2.5. One of the best lenses I've ever had.

Just so that you can get a feel of how big these barges are, take a look at the car at the rear left. Amazing things that catty everything up and down the Main (and further).

I believe I could post these images from the Heliar all year long, I'm so thrilled with them. I never really expected these to be so good. Must note though that these images were taken with very bright light. Must have been mid afternoon, so I'll have to try it out in better light (note to self: take tripod). I see these barges unloading coal almost daily here, They must carry tons of the stuff. If you haven't seen these barges on the Main, then you would be quite surprised at their size. I think one of the images to follow show how masive these things are.
