I found this little country church while driving around some back roads in Logan County Ohio this past weekend. Too bad we could not be there a little later, the trees would have been in full fall color.
Taken with a A35-105 on a K20d, camera JPEG with just a little cropping.

Sometimes people can say as much about the brand as the product themselves.

Thank you.

I've just realised my SMC Pentax-A* 135mm F1.8 doesn't have a name , the other chosen few are...

SMC Pentax-A 15mm F3.5 is my "Mistress"
SMC Pentax-A 20mm F2.8 is my "Good Lady"
SMC Pentax-A 50mm F1.2 is my "Special Lady"
SMC Pentax-A* 85mm F1.4 is my "Sweetheart"
SMC Pentax-A* 135mm F1.8, I'm leaning towards just now "Lady Provocateur", I'll see how she feels about that one.

Long time since I have posted this thread. I have explanation as I have made a sidestep with D700+Sigma 150-500 OS. But that combination is sometimes just too big and heavy and really cannot replace my K-5+A*300/4 combo. Image quality is better but it doesn't matter if it's at home. So here are some latest shots with A*300/4. I have to say it again that I really like this little lens. Joy to use. Maybe not as sharp as some other alternatives, but joy to use. That's what matters.

I agree (even though it looks distressingly like late autumn.)
