Shots with the 135 Manual · 08:40 AM

These are a few shots i took with the 135 Manual. I bought this lens at a local pawn shop for $30 dollars.

Thanks daacon.. Yes when i asked for the price on the lens i thought she was joking but i quickly told her I'll take it and try it out. lol

Still trying to perfect the art of the manual focus & learn each lens.

I love that first one, personally.

I like the first one, the entire frame seems in focus, except where the jet wash is blurring the runway and the other plane. The colors of the planes seem to pop-out against the dull urban color scheme of concrete and steel from the city.

The ducks are very nice too, good sharp glass you have there!

I like the last one really... And you sure got those in focus. Nice.

All excellent shots. I love the way the pyramid in the foreground echoes the mountains behind in that first shot.

A question, though: which manual 135mm do you have? There are honestly quite a few of them. Personally I've got a Sears (rebranded Rikenon) 135mm f2.8, but there are other manual 135mm f2.8s and f3.5s from a myriad of other manufacturers for K-mount. Is yours a Pentax or another third-party lens? I'm curious. :-)
