First shots with SMC Pentax-M 28mm 3.5 · 02:51 AM

These are my first shots with my "new" lens SMC Pentax-M 28mm 3.5 @f8. I hope you find them interesting.
The photos are not very spectacular, but I like the result

I always admire folks that try out different perspectives instead of the run-of-the-mill documentation snapshots. Great work with these, but it looks like you might have to work a bit on manually focusing- the DOF in the last is too shallow!

Thank you for your comment, Adam. I really like the strange effect of the last one, but you are right, I have to work on this lens: I am not very satisfied with it, but I know that a lot of people thinks that it is a good lens, better than the 2.8 version.

Looks like you're having fun with that depth of field play - keep working on it and developing your photographic character.

Great lens, and it's good to see you experimenting! Nice attempts, could be improved imo, but that was said by others already...
