Silvered SMC K Lenses
Finally got my main pentax "K" lenses silvered by "Dcshooter".... K30/2.8, K50/1.2 and K85/1.8. Can recommend his services.

No burden I assure you.

Joking aside, what a gorgeous team.

Very nice look combined with the SE-style trim on the K1000! Mind if I snag a copy of that photo for reference purposes?
no problems....

This makes me want to silver my K series lenses and revert all my K bodies to silver (currently black models). DOH - perhaps I will just continue to LBA instead

These are beautiful - but I don't think I'd have the courage to do that to my copies of THESE three lenses.
