Our Yi-p :)

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Sure is a sweet lens Yi-p!
The WB looks ok on my monitor, which in truth hasn't been calibrated for a while. A tack too warm do u think?

I got to use the 35 f2 on my camera while in Singapore and had immediate lust, fortunately for me they didn't have one available for sale it was the guys own lens, but it was sweet to play with it.

I've heard some stories about the 35mm f/2 D version have some lubricant oil problem on the blades right out from the manufacture, on the earlier production line. So be bit careful on buying 2nd hand if you plan to, or if still new, check the blades for oil first.

Mine is the non-D version, doesnt appear to have any problem or oil sight on the blades btw. *phew*

My 35/f2 was an ebay sale and I've been delighted with it. When travelling overseas that's the only lens I take, when I go to a kids/friends party that's the only lens I use, I also take it with me when I go out at night.

At the moment my 35 is used in over 50% of my photos. Getting a lower-light version would be great but I can't justify the extra cash.
