These are gorgeous, almost erotic photos. Where did you have your 1.2 silvered?

A guy that use to be on this forum (Dcshooter) did my 50/1.2, 30/2.8 and 85/1.8 about 5 years ago... was to be my K walk around kit.

I used the 85/1.8 at 1.8 for the photos. I recently added a canon S focusing screen to my silver K1 and a tampa 1.2x viewfinder thingy so am having fun with it all again.

So Dcshooter did his work even for Australia. He was a great resource.

Yes... was about $50 postage each way plus his $150 or so. Our dollar was better back then.... one lens got lost in the mail for a month... but got delivered eventually. I just wanted something a bit different.

You got your money's worth for sure.

One big plus point with silver lenses is that Pentax gets exposure. You just don't get the same looks in public transport with black lenses!
