Great colors John. And you have this Angenieux ... I always wanted to try it. What do you think of it?

The Angenieux 35-70/2.5-3.3 is a marvellous lens, in colours, light and bokeh unique.  Has some drawbacks (but easily corrected in PP) and takes a bit of time to master it. And some luck to find a good sample in the Nikon-mouth.

An example here, with hardly any daylight.

That's what I heard about it indeed. Your pictures demonstrate its quality and your mastering of it.
