Had a second chance to test out my most recent acquisition (part one was here - https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/12-post-your-photos/323224-nature-testing...r-takumar.html - all two shots that I posted). Still getting used to the focal length, but it sometimes seems ideal for shooting flowers as long as you can position yourself so you don't cast shadows.

Another case of mixing the old with the new.



And now some glorious pinks. Images were cropped, resized and then the smallest touch of sharpening, but no color adjustments.

Glorious colors. TFS.
