    Hehe, yes i’m sure that’s what they were discussing.

    Found this looking for some 50 apo-summicron samples. You’ve got some very nice ones. May i ask what processing you did to the image ? Colors are superb, and wonder if you added any clarity/contrast ?

    Thanks so much. I processed this in LR4, and simply added the Punch preset — clarity +30, vibrance +25. Quick way of just bringing it to life. Some images you labor over, this one was pretty much straight out the camera, processed with WB adjustment, and then hit punch. Glad you like it. It’s a great lens.

      I did recognize the Clarity, but not every lens handles it this well, so it’s interesting to see. Same with the Vibrancy really, as it can sometimes magnify flaws, but stays absolutely natural here. If anything it only seems to magnify optical greatness 😉
