I solemnly declare that I adore this lens!
This is a front focus shot.
It goes without saying that the lens is extremely sharp  8)

[Edit]
The second shot that I am just adding is the same seen with some parts in the plane of sharpness.
Shot at f/2.0, the DC set all the way to F.

You are quite an "umjetnik" Jakov. I LOVE that blur circle color orgasm.

Sten's Croatian is impressive! How can I not create orgasmic photos using Elsa's slutty lens and surrounded by flowers!
Thank you Børge! Must e the Asian frenzy that caught up on me :)
Elsa, you are perfect, you know that! I didn't do anythign to the lens, I just do not know better  ::)
Thanks, John! The lens has special bokeh without a doubt :)

Here is another take from the same series. I did try the 135DC in all sort of positions and settings :)

We all know that the light is great early in the morning or late in the day.
The shadows are longer and the contrasts are mellow.
A true pleasure is when you mount the 135DC on a Df and have a bunch flowers to photograph :)

Thank you Hans and Chip!
I really appreciate it!

Of course the 135DC could be used on other subjects and not only flowers. In fact it can easily be used as a multi-purpose walk-around lens.

Jakov, seeing your flower shots triggers me to grab my 135 and go outside. The weather is  not very cooperative, however.  :(

Nice results!

Joost don't talk to me about this weather and wind havoc that is hitting NL for months. It just doesn't stop. I wanted to go to Keukenhof tomorrow (King's Day, probably not so busy) and play with the 135DC but looking at the weather forecast I think I will remain in bed...

Thanks!
