I've heard about these lenses for so many years, sometimes I wonder why I never gave them a spin before. It seemed like there was always something else new-and-shiny that got priority. To be fair, I did once own the 20-40mm Limited for a while, which I had paired with a K-S2, which was actually a really nice combo. As pleasing as that was, though, it wasn't the
classic Limited lens. It wasn't one of the Three Amigos.
And now, thanks to fleaBay, I have the 43mm. . .
Exactly how it was designed to be used. Because as much as I like my digital cameras, there's something magical about the colors of Kodak Ektar 100 that is difficult to mimic in software.
It was 73°F, sunny and calm here in central Texas yesterday, and I couldn't resist taking a spin in the Roadster with the top off. As we got into the Golden Hour, I pulled out this camera and zipped around my little town, snapping various scenes until I ran out of film and sunlight about the same time. Sometimes the simple pleasures are best.
