You have to rotate the image before you upload it on flickr, either with your post processing program or even every viewing software on your computer should be able to do so, or you rotate the image in the camera when viewing it.

The image on flickr is fine, but when I link up here it is rotated. Anyway thank you for your help

I got this lens for very little bundled with a (sadly broken) SF1. Turned out to be quite a lively little lens with surprisingly good quality.

Love the small size, and I've been using the macro mode quite a bit lately.

Here's a few photos from my last year's trip to India.

I'm always amazed at how versatile this lens is. These are a few backyard shots I took this week using the macro setting.

Baby Boomers will appreciate these.

Georgia has been watching The Flying Nun reruns again!

She was trotting up the yard and I noticed her ears flapping in the breeze. Even though I had the camera in hand and set to AF.C, unfortunately I had the focus set to spot and couldn't quite nail it on her head. That said, the 35-70 has a very quick auto-focus.

Took my 35-70 for a spin after a long time of no use. Fast to focus and accurate at that, great walkaround lens on the k-01. The close focus on this lens really makes it a treat.

**Davep** · 10-14-2018, 03:04 PM

Damn! Those are exceptional. I love that little lens. It is my walk around lens. Shame it is not a little bit wider though.

I agree - would be perfect 24-70

Took out the 35-70 with the KP, loving the combo. Cross post with a few other threads.
