I've been using the K 135/2.5 quite a lot recently and I think it's become my favourite K series lens. The 28/2 is rarer and more valuable and produces wonderful images too, but I'm just so impressed with what the 135mm can do, especially wide open.

These were taken with the 135/2.5, all wide open, at the "three wise men" parade on the 6th of January in Segovia.

Great series, you and that lens do nice work together. I especially like "Waiting"

Many thanks.

I've even used it for pictures of my niece at her rhythmic gymnastics performances and the lens and I do pretty well even with a moving subject.

Do you recall the f-stop and camera body used for the alligator photo? Really nice!

Many thanks. This was taken with the Lumix S5 and the lens wide open at f/2.5.

These were taken out my window with the K 200mm f/4, I think stopped down to f/5.6.

K 135mm f2.5. Have been using for concerts lately. More misses than hits but my keepers look nice. This is a pano merge of 2 taken at Genesis "The Last Domino?" Tour, late 2021
