and finally - Poppies (5) - Summicron 90SL at f2

Thank you for these!

Well, I don’t know if it’s the focal length or the f2 but I like this one.  They are all good pictures but because I’ve been toying with the idea of purchasing a Summicron 90 SL, I found this set very interesting.  Do you have any similar close pictures with the Summicron 90SL and the VE 24-90 at 90mm, shot at f4 or close to it?

I sensed your cheeky sense of humour. 

Thanks for your positive comments. In this world I’m even afraid to reply with anything in fear to be viewed as ‘trolling’. I pushed the ‘submit’ button and regretted immediately. I’m glad you didn’t take it like that. There is some sanity in this world, at times 😶🤐

£10,700 is almost exactly the same price A$19,500 in Sydney. Not cheap, eh? I still remember the times any Nocti to be had for $10K or even less. 
Happy shooting. I like your cat, but mine grey is nicer 😝 

I also have a grey cat . . . . same camera, same lens.

Thank you - unfortunately I do not have a comparable shoot with the 24-90 - the one posted above (1) is at 90mm, but with aperture closed to f7.1 - since I own the 50 and 90 Summicron I do use those two for open aperture/bokeh type shoots. For this kind of photography, they will always by nature outperform the Vario 24-90, which has its own advantages.

Poppies (3) - VE 90-280mm (other than the wide angle vario the "easiest" lens to shoot the poppies)

Strange colors, that’s not how poppies look in my experience. Maybe this is artistic freedom, but I find it very artificial. (And unnecessary).  Just to make it clear, not a bad picture, just a strange color palette.

Fully appreciate your comment and do want to discuss your perception - however, just fyi - the colors are those of a late sunny evening and they have not been tuned in post processing (HSL sliders and color grading untouched, "normal" gradation curve). Added a vignette, but this does not impact colors.

An early summer evening hike to the top of a "mountain" (only 440m but this is what we have in my area...;)) (1) with VE 24-90mm - 3 exposures HDR combined in LR to deal with strong contrasts.

Very nice.  Good reward for carrying that heavy lens 🙂
