Yes indeed. Truly huge rig.

So the K1 with an APS-C lens...I guess PP cropping must occur? I'd love to get this lens for my K-3ii

No cropping needed as long as you stay at 14-17mm. Wider than that and you will get vignetting, and lots of it by then time you reach 10mm. It is fairly close-focusing and a lens with lots of fun in it. It's my go-to lens when I need an alternative view on things

Highly recommended for the K-3 as well, of course!

I have the older FF 17-28 fisheye that was great fun on my old film camera but it does nothing for an APS-C in the fun department. I am hoping to get my hands on a used one.

I see you parked your Saab in the middle of the street and went up the steps to grab this shot!

I thought it was a Saab. They seemed to be more popular in New England than elswhere. I once had a '74 Sonett. Yeah, someone was trying to make a U-turn...

Saabs were popular in New England and Saab USA had their headquarters there a long time ago. They were popular here too. Then Subaru came along and took their place and left a Saab story behind.

I used to have a Saab horn button. I found it when I was a kid back in the early 1960s. There was a wrecked Saab in the middle of a large area of vacant land near where I lived then. There was an airplane design on the horn button.

That's back when the Saab car and airplane divisions were in the same organization. The airplane part survives and is now partnered with Boeing to produce the new USAF jet trainer.
