Of all the Pentax 67 lenses, the 105mm f2.4 is the most hyped. Can’t say it’s without reason, I just don’t have one. However, I came across a 90mm f2.8 for a very good price. I’m posting a couple of the first shots taken with that lens. Just had to cross the road at Manly to get these. I’ve only really seen it in use with portrait shoots where they excel. But I have to say, ignoring the half stop loss between the two (105 and 90mm) once it’s stopped down as you mostly do in landscape photography, I doubt the difference, if there were any, would be noticeable. The results speak for themselves. I kind of like the extra width in the shots anyway. Certainly no complaints about the sharpness.

Bench shot below is a jpg using ‘Nostalgic neg’ simulation. I particularly like the way this camera/lens combination renders the bench almost as if it were an illustration (shallow depth of field contributes to that). Again, as I mentioned in the previous post, the ease of editing these images makes this system well worth the investment. Final results shows how much software is otherwise used to make an image look good. Over editing then becomes another nightmare and source of frustration for photographers.
