Thanks Dave! They were very cooperative! Do you see the leg sticking out of the inner tube under the dock in the image where the victor has the fish? Very used to people on this lake.

Wowsers! That CLA really sharpened up the Spiratone without ruining the OOF areas. Super manual work Dave!

it did change the character of the lens - it's quite impressive now; I think just using it every day helps, though....

after having using my new to me " experienced " smc Pentax-DA 35mm F2.8 macro Limited, I have concluded


I do like this lens


I would rather attempt hand held " in the field " macro with my smc D FA 100mm F2.8 macro [ as expected ]

I am not saying that the smc Pentax-DA 35mm F2.8 macro limited could not be used successfully as a macro lens in the field -

Wet flowers plus overcast sky = gorgeous colours! What we normally have a lot of in the UK. Just not this spring and summer!
