My brother got a new lens - Samyang. The parcel arrived, and the new toy was unwrapped and attached to the camera.
"Hey sis, wanna go test it?" - he shouted from the other room.
Damn yeah, I wanna go test it! I am all for testing new toys :D
Shoes on, and I was out within a minute.
I had to stay close to the house as it was getting late and the sun was slowly hiding behind the clouds. The light was still nice and very soft, so it was perfect for the first tests.
A quick few shots to see how it works, and boy.... me likey :)

The few little spring flowers that started to bloom in the garden and some waking-up branches were the main objects. Not a huge variety, but the colours are nice, and with the very low angle, I knew it just had to be good.
Dear sweet mother of all dragons... that lens is so nice! I have a feeling I will be testing it a bit more.
Later.
It is not a bubbly bokeh monster (and I sure like those!), though this type shows up here and there. But it gives this extremely soft and smooth background blur, while the object in focus is very sharp, to the point that I could crop it a lot and make it look almost like if I used a macro lens.
And, of course, the colours. I barely edited the photos. There was not much to do here actually.
Some random fence shots, because why not? :)
Shot with Sony a7 III + Samyang AF 135mm F1.8 FE lens
All photos and text are my own.
everything looks so nice and fluffy... even the fence!
Lens magic :D
You got some interesting photos. Nice how it has a focus subject and the rest kind of drops back. I know you are going to have lots of fun with that.
I have been playing with it for the past few days. It's so cool! :D
Thank you!
So smooth and silky background feeling that this new toy gives to the photos. 🤩
Yea, it's pretty incredible :)
Good heavens... Depth of field at a superlative and exquisitely smoooooooth level!!... I have the feeling that we will see many wonders from you with this new brother's lens my dear @ewkaw friend!.... Like for example that couple of superb photos in the fence wires! ..Wow!... Hmmmm... Maybe "old friend Helios" will be a little jealous!!!! hahaha :))

These are wonderful photos! I especially like the shot of that first blue flower, the pale one with the dark bokeh behind it. Exquisite shots! 💙
Thanks a lot! I like to shoot against dark background. It was a perfect little flower to do that.
Very smooth… looks like a nice lens 😎
Oh it is... hope he keeps it so I can use it more often ;)
Let’s hope he does 😋
You got a very interesting object. Even though I don't know exactly what kind of flower it is, the picture you took looks very clear and I can even see the pores of the flower clearly.😍
Thank you! It's all the lens doing :)
Spring is here. Also YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO recent shots!
No more decade old mushroom pics.
Hahah you miss the decade old shots. I know you do :p
By the time you run out of those. 10-yrs had already passed and i decayed and turned into a Mushroom knight that protects youuuu.
good morning dear friend @ewkaw
Congratulations on this new acquisition, the shots you have taken look beautiful
May you enjoy it very much,
have a great day
Thank you, though it doesn't belong to me :)
Yes, I know that it is a purchase that your brother has made, but I am sure he will not mind sharing on some occasions and that you can enjoy this device
He doesn't mind... but if I break it I will have buy a new one :p
Yes that is true, but I don't think this will happen, you are very professional and know how to use and care for these elements
A huge hug for you and your entire family.
could be nice for cat purrrtraits ;)
Oh there will be cat purrrtraits too :)
Already tested.
Lovely! I just love those images, especially the fence shots which have more of the bubbly bokeh you are so fond of (me too!).
Oh, I wouldn't even have put on my shoes!
It's nice that blur and the twigs so sharp in the foreground. Art! Time to make art! hahahahahah... enjoy that new toy!
Wow, what a great photoshoot Ma'am. Macrophotos is not a bit easy and it really needs fucos to have a great photoshoots.

btw, those bokeh balls that look like half balls come from shooting with one shutter - "front curtain shutter mode" or something like that. Enable normal shooting and it goes away.
Thanks! I dont understand what you mean by "Enable normal shooting".
I dont really mind the boke shape, but it is always handy to know how to change it :)
Sorry for the late reply.
Disable Front e-curtain shutter.
The new lens you have is amazing, some of the pictures you managed to take are really beautiful, I love those cute yellow flowers
Great looking lens and FREE too 😁
