Just another cat photo...
Lens: Tamron SP 90mm f/2.8 Di 272E Camera: Hasselblad HV Photo Location: Back garden! ISO: 800 Shutter Speed: 1/125s Aperture: F5.6 
Posted By: BigMackCam, 10-30-2016, 06:12 AM

A non-Pentax day for me so far. I've been in the back garden, trying out a new-to-me Tamron SP 90mm f/2.8 Di 272E lens on my Sony A99-based Hasselblad HV. Although I have faster glass with a similar field of view, I think this Tamron will be a nice, compact portrait lens... I have no humans to try it out on today, so my cat, Pluto, will have to do

Yep. After over 50 years of having cats in my life I can't imagine trying to sleep without a couple of them purring next to me at night.
Well shot and a handsome creature.

He he Yes, they're very therapeutic and relaxing - although this fella has recently discovered mousing in a big way (seven of them in 4 days), and I can think of nicer tasks than having to dispose of the bodies!!

Thanks for the nice comments
