Well worth finding one, I've glued a cut down pk adapter onto mine because it's too heavy for M39->M42->PK combo.
Probably my favourite lens.
This is my favourite shot from it.

There is a cemetery near us called Washington Home Cemetery. It's for our country's oldest hero's from the civil war, Spanish American War and WW1. Lots of stories could be told there.
This first photo is where a Medal of Honor soldier was buried.
McHALE, ALEXANDER U.
Rank and Organization: Corporal, Company H, 26th Michigan Infantry. Place and Date: At Spotsylvania Courthouse, Va., 12 May 1864. Entered Service At: Muskegon, Mich. Born: 1842, Ireland. Date Of Issue: 11 January 1900.
Citation:
Captured a Confederate color in a charge, threw the flag over in front of the works, and continued in the charge upon the enemy.
The Battle at Spotsylvania Court House was a massive bloody mess for both sides. Horrific fighting.

K-5 II, DA 70mm F2.4 Limited at F/2.8

And some more general photos of the cemetery.

I have had this happen before. How do you shift a16bit RAW to capture more red detail? White Balance? ETTR of course...

Yes, but you have to be very careful not to blow the highlights! It can be really difficult with vibrant, shiny flowers for example

Anyway, here is one of mine with Helios 44-2 (a bit of cropping and added saturation, contrast)

Wild grass

Some DA 35mm F2.4 bokeh. The butterfly has been dead for some time but still hanging onto his flower. Kinda sad.
