The shadow recovery was awesome.

Spring is here ... and painterly magical.

The same place but farther in the distance focused to keep the feeling of the forest location, awesome perspective compression.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand here she comes ... and how hard it was to catch the focus with manual focus lens at 200mm.

I got lucky to be graced by a Red Woodpecker.

Heavy crop and plenty of fringing to go around.

And I am more than sure now that my first focus to get a native lens is a telephoto because most of everything would be better for wildlife.

But up close seems to work decently though.

And still managed to get enough details on the bricks of the church more than half an hour's walk away.

First time trying the Helios Auto Wide Angle 35mm f 2.8, the only lens I am worried about because it has a significant build-up of fungus in it.

At f 5.6 the sharpness in the centre is good.

At f 2.8 it does have a softness to it, I wonder if in direct sunlight there would be highlight bloom.

The same subject, at f 4 the sharpness is improved with pretty ok global clarity except for extreme corners.

The edges are quite blurry and it looks, to me, as it might be field curvature. Also, the lens has very heavy vignetting on the edges.

It can certainly give a character/personality to this lens, maybe a bit Low-Fy aspect.

I didn't have many expectations to get details back on the crow, if it was longer FL it might have worked.

I do like this one quite a bit.

There's still some flare reaction in the lens but not sure why as the lens has a built-in lens hood.

These 2 images are the only ones that I passed through Topaz DeNoise AI. I am noticing that at high ISO the files (at 1:1) is not all that much different the Micro Four Thirds doesn't look all that dissimilar for noise and detail level.

It might be controversial, that's not what I am trying to do or be, but the noise doesn't seem to be as good as the Sony a7C (the only other camera I have used besides Micro Four Thirds), though the sensor still has some advantages from 42 Million Pickle Ricks screaming at you so you can downsize them, a bit better DR.
