Hi everyone,

I bought a new (to me) Pentax M 135mm f/3.5 off of e-bay for the right price. Ever since I received the lens early in the week the weather hasn't been in my favor to get to really try it out. I walked around my girlfriends backyard and saw a group of Lilly's and I thought I'd try the lens out there and I was quite surprised with the results from such an old lens.

Shot this with an Ist DS.

1/45s @ iso 200. 135mm @ f/11



Let me know what you think!

Looks pretty good. the flower is sharp and the bokeh is smooth. Most of the old 135's were very good lenses and looks like you got a good copy. On my screen the flower looks slightly over exposed but that may be the metering. It could be easily explained by multi segment metering which may give more weight to the background.

Ya, the flower is a touch over exposed. I forgot to mention that that's just a crop/sharpen out of camera from RAW.

I burnt the petals a bit on the flower where they were a touch over exposed. I didn't touch the background, though.
