Ektachrome in 1977
Pentax MX M50/1.7

I see it is starting to fail a bit, (magenta tinges here and there) but it is in remarkable shape for a 36 year old image!

Shot with a smc Pentax-M 50mm 1.7 on a K-30. This is my first lens outside of the kit. I've been shooting for about two months.

I love the look and feel of this lens -- it puts my kit lens to shame without a doubt. The bokeh is phenomenal.

Thanks Jean, and hey sodapop, that billiards shot fantastic.

I agree. That is a great shot.

sodapop,

Welcome to Pentax Forums!

I would say that you've introduced yourself with a couple of excellent images - especially the pool table. Great to see such work from the venerable M 50/1.7!

Some more M 50/1.7 love.

and the M 200/4

I love the processing of this image. You did a great job -it looks like a movie. A really intriguing movie.

Sodapop I say you win the shot of the week award with that shot! I tell people all that time that would be the last lens I would sell.

Both of those shots are fantastic, very well done.
