While I never would claim credit for anything that's green and grows... this is spingtime in my backyard.

After a good number of years now living in The Netherlands, we finally made it to Keukenhof. It's one of those things where you don't think about it much because its right there. It was a warm and sunny weekend in Amsterdam so we got a car and brought out a couple of underused lenses. As many of you know we love to get large structures and wide open spaces so the 35mm f/1.4 and the 105mm Micro f/2.8 don't come out of the bag much. Keukenhof and the Tulip fields made for a great opportunity to see what these toys can do.

Springtime Roses by Martina Weber (Chatelaine). Stitched on Vintage Green Belfast Linen; with all the recommended threads (mainly DMC along with Waterlilies Mountain Meadow; TGS Honeyed Turquoise and some Rainbow Gallery PTB).
These were taken using a Pentax 85mm f/2.2 Soft focus lens. It was designed to have a ton of under-corrected spherical aberration. As such, it's depth of field is extremely deep, even wide open (if you don't understand how this can be, ask and I'll try to explain, or point you to someone who has already said it well). I find if I focus close and let the back edge of what is in focus barely touch the subject, the background _finally_ drops away. Messing with the aperture, of course, adds another dimension of possibilities.
The real reason I wanted to write something in these comments/descriptions is that this Pentax lens came mounted with a Nikon F-mount bayonet. It's the only Pentax K-mount lens I've so far seen remounted this way. I don't know if Pentax made a series of Nikon F-mount (never heard of it before) or if this was just a very good job done in a shop somewhere.
