Was that a cropped single image or stitched images for a panoramic result?

With just a hint of backlight to complete that "designer catwalk" look... if flowers could I'm sure they would.

Nephew (Pentax K-1 with SMC Pentax K 135mm f/2.5)

Two months ago I bought a Pentax MX and the SMC Pentax K 135mm f/2.5 was included as part of the sale. This is the second time trying this lens on my K-1, since the first time I did not managed to learn how to properly expose with it. Then, after reading a couple of forums posts and seeing videos on how to properly use vintage SMC lenses with the K-1, all I can say is... OMG what an awesome lens. I've been a Pentax user since I took a basic photography course 4 years ago and my love and appreciation for the brand keeps growing every passing day. Thank you Pentax!!!

I need a lens hood! I was trying to use my K 135 F2.5 which I found in one of my chests of old lenses. I also found in the same chest a K 30mm F2.8! Anyway, it is too bright and Im getting too much flaring. Is anyone able to point me in the direction of something that would work. Normally I would just buy a 58mm PH-RBK58 and screw it into the filter thread, but I noticed the lens database states the original hood was a snap on hood so not sure how that changes things.

All my snap-on hood lenses also have filter screws, which means that you can use a screw in filter directly into the lens if you are not using a filter, or into the filter threads if you are using a filter.

K 135/2.5

As seen with the above red leave shot, this lens can get quite bubbly with the right light... It even swirls like a Russian at times (might not be as evident there, but some portraits I took, there's lots of swirl).

Pentax A*135mm on K1
I know...not a pretty shot.
I was looking out of my relatively clean windows and noticed this.
Upon further inspection....either a bird or an angel did it.
