Spring snow storm

Big spring snow storm over night, big surprise this morning.

KIT: K-1 with the SMC Pentax-D FA 50mm f 2.8 macro, one of the sharpest knives in the drawer.

I've just browsed through the last 25 pages or so of this club and I'm beginning to wonder whether or not I should abandon my other lenses and stick with just the 50mm, it seems so versatile, you have to use what's mounted on the camera and so you don't have to start wondering if this or that focal length would be better, and by the time you have figured that out whatever you were thinking about shooting is just a memory.

OK so occasionally you have to zoom with your feet to get to the other side of the Grand Canyon or knock the odd hole in the inconveniently placed wall behind you, but the outfit will be way lighter and you will really get to know exactly how to get the best out of your camera and lens.

You might want to brush up on your botany too, Kerrowdown's masterly description of "some sort of thistley thing" (p88) probably won't make the grade with the gardening crowd or at least not with the gardener who's been minding me for the last 50 odd years or so.

Due to a hiccup in the weather the sun is shining and for the first time this year I feel like taking photos so I think I shall venture forth with my K70 and FA 50 F1.7 or maybe the M 50 F1.4 or perhaps the Tak 55 F1.8 or ...............

PenPusher, the F/1.8 55mm Super-Takumar has a very nice close focusing distance, making it an especially versatile lens.

Painted Eagle
Beautifully painted rocks were scattered all over the park this day. Reason: unknown.
(I seem to have missed focus just a bit... the challenges of manual focus sometimes defeat me!)
