Cheep bolt organizer, with a little bit of boltkeh

SMC-K 35mm f2 around f4




Replaced the spark plugs and ignition coils at 120k miles. Old plugs had an .08" (2mm) gap. Spec is .052" (1.3mm)
Had to remove the upper intake plenum and air duct to get the back 3 coils and plugs. A couple hours of work, but saved several hundred dollars.

You saved enough to buy a news lens. Nice work.

Orb Weaver

While walking the dog a few days ago i came upon a large colony of Barn Spiders in an old boathouse. Yesterday evening I returned with the DA35 Macro on my K-3. There were several layers of webs and at f4 I was able to get one web and spider in focus and the background webs out of focus. The background webs refracted the late afternoon sun in a most marvelous fashion!

K-3 with DA 35 Macro at f4, iso 100, 1/350 sec., -1½ ev.

cc always welcome
