Here is one from November 19 2017 .shot with a 28mm f/2 on a very windy day

[mikeodial]

This was a mock-up product shot that I did earlier this year for my BTEC L2 Photography diploma.
Shot with Samsung GX-10 (K10d clone) and a Kiron 105/2.8 Macro. A beautiful lens that goes down to 1:1.

This is a fantastic lens and the same as the famous Lester A Dine Macro used by dentists for many years.

I just snagged the Kiron 28-210mm on the auction site. I've never had a "super-zoom" before, so why not start out with the first one to achieve impressive image quality, even if that is mainly around f/11. There are only two reviews of it here at PF ( Kiron 28-210mm f3.8-5.6 Macro Lens Reviews - Miscellaneous Lenses - Pentax Lens Review Database ), but the second one has some very helpful test results showing how to get the best sharpness as various focal lengths. All of my legacy lenses have limitations; the trick is to work within them or creatively utilize them. Obviously, this zoom isn't going to compete much with all of the great Kiron 28mm prime lens shots that dominate this thread so far, but I will see what it can do at that focal length. My first tests will probably be with my K10D, probably made easier because the copy I bought has the PKA mount. I'll also shoot some film with it, partly so that the wide angle end gets a chance to give wide angle results, both color and black & white.

I feel like I've already got too many overlapping intermediate zooms in the 70(-100) to 160(-300)mm range, and maybe too many 28(-35) to 70(-80) zooms, but one expansive one covering most of both ranges seems like it won't add to either glut...and might offer some new possibilities. Anyway, it should arrive in a few days, and my next post here should include some picture examples.

Just rebuilt one of these Lens ,it is a Tank very well built quality comes to mind when you see the insides of this lens just PURE QUALITY

The more I use it, the more I fall in love with this lens...105mm f2.8

Got a Vivitar badged 28mm F2 Kiron lens for...wait for it...17$.




Top right corner:


for 17$ this is quite unbelievable.

First, some obligatory images of my cat. @F2












And some outdoor shots.









The lens is museum quality, thanks to a random kind polish dude on ebay. This will be glued to my K-5 for a long time, only replaced by my 35mm F2.4 when I absolutely need autofocus.

Quite the score, beautiful images.

K-3II with Kiron 105mm f2.8

Ive tried out a few macros but this one never disappointed me.
A legendary lens from the 80s, which is tack sharp and creates lovely colors and creamy background.
The focusing ring is buttery smooth, nailing focus every time. This lens is an absolute joy!
