Fascinating images, Klaus!  the f1.9 lens handles the light marvelously.  It is literally visionary! 

[John Geerts]

Very impressive indeed, beautiful colours, nice bokeh.

Proof that "sharpness" is not necessarily required.  Lovely effects from the mystery lens.

Beautiful glow...

Thanks guys, a few more, beautiful autumn day it was...













I tend to call that lens' rendering "impressionistic"...

[pluton]

This is pictorialism.  Achieved, as it was in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, by the lens' image forming qualities.  A pleasing break from the look of computer-designed exactness.

Right Keith, this is the better term indeed!! I have lenses from that era, too.

[Erik Lund]

Very painterly and romantic - Very nice

Agreed with all of the above with extra points for the romantic pictorial results. Refreshing, interesting...thanks Klaus

[Jørgen Ramskov]

Certainly a very different "look", fuzzy with glow but pleasing to look at.
