Here's some shots from the M-28/3.5 and a couple more from the 135/3.5.
I took 120 or so pics of the Coeur d'Alene River this morning which is flooding and it's a mess up there. We had record snowfalls this year and virtually no spring, then, this weekend the temps soar to the high 80's (F). The melt is on! On top of that it's supposed to rain this week. The news just said the Cd'A has crested but I'm not so sure of that. Ok, a few from the M-28/3.5

The M-135/3.5

BTW Jay, I had the A-50/1.7 I bought from you on my Super Program loaded with Velvia 100 but I never got that camera out:-(. That is a very nice lens.
I took a bunch of pics with the A35-105/3.5 today and I must say that is a very nice lens, also. I never broke out my Takumars, though.

I must say I've been very pleased with the M28/3.5. Reviews of it are a bit mixed. I've had a Vivitar M equivalent 28/2.8 since last year that I bought for $21 or something like that and I love that lens but I wanted the Pentax M in my collection. I also have the Super Takumar 28/3.5 which is a very very nice lens. You just can't beat the Takumars for "feel". Anyway, this M28/3.5 has been a very pleasant surprise. I'm on the side of the reviewers who love it.
