I just pulled out my Tokina 20-30 for some shooting yesterday...Tokina's I have found to be some of the best vakue lenses on the market for Pentax....nice use of that 28 manual here....

Thank you. Focus was hard, with the reverse mount. I must have a play with this lens the right way round as well!

Well the good thing about focus on this shot......even if it wasn't exactly the focus you were going for....all you had to do was get close and the shot still works!....that reverse mounting is beyond my expertise...so \i only have admiration for those kind of experiments.......especially when they work!

The reverse mounting is remarkably easy as cheap adapters are easily purchased! But, DOF is short and I find throwing some extra light on the subject certainly helps.
