Jeannie wasn't feeling well on this particular day. She parked herself on the bridge as if to say, "This is the end of the road today!" (She's ok now, btw ) F80-200 on K10D:

A squirrel suspended over the slow-moving creek. Both shots F35-80 on K10D:

Taken a bit further downstream, a friend shooting with her hoodless Nikon:

Parc Natural, Cap de Creuse, Costa Brava, up, down, and around the myriad of coves. K-3, F24-50.

Nothing special here, just a few pics of some red clover taken during my evening stroll, but I continue to be surprised at the image quality of the F35-70 in terms of sharpness (even wide open), colour and bokeh.

Pentax K110D & F35-70mm f3.5-4.5

It's a fine lens

My copy seems to be slightly decentered, but still works nicely in macro mode.

Another unsung hero is the F35-80, which can be had for practically nothing. I like it as a walkabout in the woods:

My only F lens, the F 17-28 fisheye on the K-1. Both are at 17mm.

I have had a F28 for some time, and it remains under-appreciated.
Today, I took delivery of a F17-28 Fisheye Zoom, and I'm excited.

Size comparison with the newer, crop sensor, no-aperture-ring DA10-17:

Here's a quick test shot wide open on the K-1 in poor light.

I'm going to have to compare it with my Samyang 12/2.8 Fisheye, but I suspect the latter's days are numbered in my camera bag....

F 50/1.7 - my first F series lens, and honestly one I really have a liking for.
