I've recently fine-tuned the AF on my K3 with this lens and most of my DA limiteds and this one in particular is now performing better. It still needs a bit of sharpening in post and for care to be taken when focusing, but it's working well.

Anyone notice anything unusual about this bike?

that's pretty awesome. Good catch. At first, I thought it was the multi colors but I quickly noticed the geared fork and handlebar setup. Don't know the advantage of that but it's pretty cool nonetheless

It's a "trick" bike at a fayre - the front wheel turns the opposite way from normal, so the rider tries to go left and turns to the right. I think you could win a prize if you managed to get it from one white line on the ground to the other.

Weird.

Happy Vuelta a Espana, BTW!

Great Series Pentax_WA
I'm especially attracted to the "Wide Eye Amasement" Expression in the 3rd shot
Definately a shot to hold on to and show whe he's much older
