| Pentaxian | Some beautiful shots posted so far. Here is my humble offering, mostly shot in the back yard - I don't get "out" much right now since I work from the house and our son isn't quite ready to go off on photo romps with dear old dad yet. From my AF75-300 LD which is for sale. I wish I could justify keeping this one but I so rarely ever use it.  Click on the image to view it in a larger size  Click on the image to view it in a larger size 1.5x TC attached. Cropped for composition And from my SP Di 90mm f/2.8 Macro. The term "cold dead hands" comes to mind regarding parting with this lens...

They feel substantial, if you will, like I'm holding "a piece of equipment". The focus/zoom/aperture rings are comfortable and move fluidly. They just feel "right". Ya know?  |

(Or at least I will enjoy if my Zenitar ever gets here...)
