Agreed, although we just went through our bout with the polar vortex, and we are expecting up to 25 cm of snow the next couple of days, so our winter is just getting started. So I definitely appreciate the lovely, soft, gentle image of spring.

Thank you... and good luck with the white stuff that shall remain nameless...

Btw... did my inane drivel help at all with your 28mm?

Absolutely. But having picked up some new lenses on either side of that focal length, and because of some comments from others in the current thread about new vs old glass, I've been showing the A35-105 some love lately, and will next give the A70-210 another chance. It means the A28 can't be far behind, though as those are the three lenses I acquired after getting the K5+kit.

The glass you mentioned deserves to given a bit of extra time... cos if handled lovingly, they will perform for you.

The flowers look sad. Winter doldrums?

Have you not heard that "sad looking" in the Highlands... is our way of saying you really don't wanna see the other guy.

No, I've not heard that particular expression.

I can't think why... perhaps its cos I just made it up.

Is the Norse nature in me coming to the fore.
