Quite the set there. Good also to see some areas where the paint has worn, and dust along the ring edges. When people post photos of their immaculate lenses it makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong, haha.

Nice! Looks like FA77 to me.

really ..? because im completely forgot about this .. i thought 77 will give me more tight crop picture ..but you maybe correct too , since i shot this on FF body .. the crop maybe wont be too tight like this.

too smooth bokeh - more probably 77 limited - nice colours and shapes in that photo too

here's my bw attempt at landscape with fa43...shot probably at f8 on k20d

lets say its 77 then.

i brought two lenses over two camera , the first one is Pentax *ist and the other is LX. but in the middle of the session i ran out film on LX.. so i ended trading lens over *ist .. then off course i completely forgot which lens is this.

Have to agree with the others -- this shot screams 77.

And what a striking image it is.

ha, they are tools and meant to be used, so i am not squeamish about a few love taps here and there. The pouches and caps, OTOH, have never seen the light of day; they remain sealed for whatever reason, lol.

I'm a bit hesitant about posting these for several reasons. What was I focusing on? Is anything in focus at all? Is the ant still OK? Have I gone overboard with PP? Have I managed to do a bad iphone photo with a K5 and FA77

. But, anyway, here they are:

Is this straight out of the camera or does it have post processing?
