microview Posted March 14, 2015 Share #18 Posted March 14, 2015 Can't help finding those blurry backgrounds disturbing. The human eye doesn't see things like this (unless one is ill/drunk etc). These two work for me, the right hand one just about. One wonders how the Biogon 35 2.8 compares in resolution with the 1.4 Distagon stopped down to say f4–5.6. Welcome, dear visitor!
