Lens: Vivitar Series 1 28-105mm Macro Camera: K-50 Photo Location: Idaho ISO: 800 Shutter Speed: 1/350s Aperture: F8

Some of these older Vivitar manual focus lenses can be remarkably sharp when you nail the focus! Sadly, that's becoming more difficult for me lately. This particular lens has always been one of my favorites.

Very nice shots! I like my series 1 a great deal but am not nearly as good as the capabilities of the lens.
I need to pull mine out again soonish.

Great colours and well taken, as we get older its the weight and the eyes that start to go against these great old lenses.

The colours are very vibrant and stand out nicely.
