Is the cafe wonderful? Or is it the kind place Ramsey would go for a kitchen nightmare?

Not sure if it's "wonderful", but it is pretty good! Small & cozy place with good food.

I'm just going to use the M 135mm f/3.5 as my single in lens this month, so you will see more shots from me.
Here are some from first day:

Are reversed-lens shots welcomed here?

Here's one with a new-to-me, reversed Pentax-M 28-50mm F/3.5-4.5 on 32mm of tubes (previously posted in the "Add your best K-01 photos here" thread):

That's an excellent result and great idea for that lens ... I should maybe try likewise with my M 40-80/2.8-4 with its macro function. Thanks for the inspiration, J

Great lens, nice pic. I'm wondering how did you achieve the focus on yourself? f/16?

Thanks! This was shot at f/3.2 from a distance about 5.5 ft. I made sure to sit in the same spot each time and incrementally adjusted the focus until it was right.

How cool is that?

Very cool! I've never seen anything like this before...

Tis the season - a storefront on Main Street where I live. The place always goes overboard with holiday decorations M28/3.5

My M50 Macro ended getting a lot of use this weekend. I took the whole kit camping this weekend, and by the end of the weekend, used only about 4 or 5 lenses. Oh well... rather have and not need, than need and not have.

Anyway, here is an interesting find.



This is called an Indian pipe, or ghost plant, or corpse plant. I thought it was a fungus, but it is a plant with a bell-shaped flower. Turns out, they're parasites of fungi, and contain no chlorophyll. All their energy requirements are obtained through parasitizing a specific kind of fungus. How cool is that?

Very nice shot!
