Mint

It is unquestionably your fault that I have the K version of the 15/3.5 on the way. Not enticing me into the 85/1.8, not with a 1.9 already in residence, nope!

Terrible influence, this place.

By no small coincidence, I also have just received a K 15/3.5 AL (not in such mint condition though, but still excellent for its age), with a K 85/1.8 on the way.

And yes, that was also all my fault

Cool. I so am not going to read the reviews of those last three. I've got enough trouble explaining the arrival of the various Taks. Explaining another body might be tough...

First shot with the 15/3.5 AL
Any hints as to how to square the hood up with a screw mount lens? My Pentax adaptor and this lens do not get it right, and I had to rotate and slightly crop the image to remove the worst of the hood's vignetting.

Nice shot, and interesting issue with the hood... interested to know if you find a solution.
