Pentax k-x, Pentax-A 50mm 1.7, AP mode f2.2, ISO 200

I love the shot. The Geico reference...priceless.

I recently found a wonderful A 100mm/4 Macro for $60. What a great lens! Solid and lighter than it appears. Easy to focus on my Kx

Very nice, Mato.

A 70-210/4mac. & ZXm + kodak 200 gold f8 @ 1/250 (210mm)
resized scans from drug store

Seen this "gentelman of the air" a few times, he went a few miles out of his
way to apparently avoid some huge rafts of white pelicans in area,
I waved, he waved....

he is very professional in practice, alot of fun to watch.

Took some shots at the girls Field Hockey Game today.

The A 100/2.8 macro was in the bag so why not?

Shot on goal

Fore!

After seeing Matts interesting and beautifully photographed butterfly I nearly didn’t post these.

All this wet weather we are getting gets me in the mood for macro. Reverse A50 f/1.7

Oh wow, how did I miss this? I want to join this club--I've got an A 35-105mm and A 70-210mm plus an A*300mm. I love those zooms but haven't shot with them for quite a while so this club is just the kick in the butt I needed. I'll be back with some new shots in the near future.

Hi all, great work!

I bought the A135/2.8 some months ago, but haven't used it much. Mine had some minor fungus starting inside the rear element, so I had it CLA'd (at the sellers expense) and now it's mint with perfect focus damping. Bokeh is great except in highlight areas which seem ghosty and harsh to me. It's a little long for my studio space, but I'm looking for an opportunity to do some portraits with it.

A135/2.8 @f4.0

cheers

Here's a shot of the Thomas Viaduct taken yesterday with the A 35-105.

Wikipedia: Completed in 1835, the Thomas Viaduct was the largest bridge in the nation in its day and today it remains the world's largest bridge of its kind, as well as the world's oldest multiple arched stone railroad bridge.
