Here is a 120 Second shot with my FA 77 at f/2 ISO 800. It was a bit hazy even after the rain clouds left, but got very cold an windy while I was experimenting. Constellation Orion
This is Alnitak in the 7 to 8 O'clock position (from center point,) with a hint of the Flame Nebula just between it and the Red star farther out, While Messier 42 AKA The Great Orion Nebula is visible at the 5 O'clock position. No Stacking since Deep Sky Stacker keeps crashing and the wind was strong enough to add some blur to many shots so this is a single image.

Ahh no, she is a normal lens that goes down to f/1.4, it's the desert island lens if there is one for the Pentax APS-C system... she's been doing the heavy duty of family pictures in the K-S1 bag. It might not render as beautifully as this old slow Pentax M lens but for people portraits it's just about perfect

I think everyone should have one, since Pentax doesn't make a similar lens (even if they did have an SMC*30 1.4 in the roadmap a few years back...)

First day with my new to me Samyang 14mm! Yes I know my sensor is dirty, didn't get a chance to correct the photos either.
