Here are a couple of shots taken with the 100mm wr of the Ford collection that my brother had before he passed on a couple of year ago.Now for the business end of this thread.This is primarily for the newer Pentaxians who may not venture far from this section of the forum.My contest that I'm hosting will be over at the end of the day Sept.14 2011.There is plenty of time to enter and I'm giving prizes to boot.All the info is at this link to the contest.Don't be intimidated by a contest.It's good fun. Don't sandbag.Send in your shots.After a couple glasses of wine the entries may take on a different perspective as I judge them--charliezap

This photo is of the Ford collection that my brother had.The younger grandkids want to play with the cars when they visit--no way that is going to happen---charliezap

Thanks much Dave.He was very fond of the set.
I just did an inventory of the contest and so far there are only 40 entries submitted by only 22 different people.Not really a big showing so far although over 9400 people have visted the thread.) I noticed that many people who post here on a regular basis haven't sent in a shot as of yet.The judge is a personal friend of mine and an all around nice guy so I would imagine that he wouldn't be too critical on the entries submitted especially after sipping on a glass of " nectar of the gods."--charliezap

Interesting collection - I'll bet I would have liked your brother.

I'll keep my eye out for a Pulitzer shot - it's raining here today (a news making event these days), so maybe I'll shoot a puddle .
