1. Holly branch – Some out-of-focus blue thing on the left. I suspect the reason it's blue is because of a scanning issue and my numerous attempts at color correction. 50mm Planar, f/5.6-f/8.

2. Basketball hoop – Nice detail in the fabric of the hoop. 50mm Planar, f/8-f/11.

3. Three pears – Shot this wide open or close to it as the light wasn't too good in the back yard. Hand held. 50mm Planar, f/2.0-f/2.8.

4. Tire swing – This is my standard test subject. Very sharp in the foreground. 50mm Planar, f/2.8, I think.

5. Fire hydrant – This was only about four feet away. The 25mm Biogon makes it seem farther. 25mm Biogon, f/4.0-f/5.6.

6. Watch Children – Some ugly flare in this shot. The sun was to my left and up at the top of the hill. Actually, you can sort of see where it was – maybe at 10 o'clock. Must have struck the lens at just the right angle. I was using the hood. 25mm Biogon, f/5.6

7. Forestwood Drive – I used a hyperfocal setting on this. I think this was shot at f/5.6. Light was beginning to fade a bit. The nearest point to the camera is out of focus – beyond the hyperfocal near distance. 25mm Biogon, f/5.6

8. Rusty fence pole – This shot might convince me to get the viewfinder. The rusty pole and telephone pole really are straight, but the camera wasn't held level. I might have noticed in an auxiliary viewfinder. Then again, maybe I wouldn't. The focus point was the pole. 25mm Biogon, f/2.8.
