The weather is good, the tulips have bloomed and my Pancolar 50/1.8 arrived today.

Testing/Playing with a Pancolar 50mm f/1.8 (80mm on APSC).

My neighbour has a green thumb, which is evident from visiting their garden. I shot this wide open and I'm really happy with the Pancolar's performance. The only adjustment I made was in exposure; otherwise, this is a jpg. straight from the camera. I missed the focus on some shots, but I think I got in on this one, and the Pancolar does seem pretty sharp wide open.
