Hi Matthew and thank you very much! I don't know why the thumbnail is so small and has a legend on it.

The Norrköping City Hall in Sweden sports a tower that signifies the power of the City Council as well as the court functions that were housed in the same building. Here depicted by a Pentax K-1 and a 28mm Pentax Shift Lens.

Fine shot showing the guard carefully checking things before departure. Carefully composed, no garish colors.

As seen above, I made an epoxy fillet to increase the diameter of the m42 mount. I used a polythene plastic template (i d 42 mm, o d 52 mm) held in place by the adapter. I happened to have some chalk powder at home and used that as a filler in the epoxy.
Later I found that I had to trim away a little thickness to get infinity at the hard stop.
For photos of the mount and pictures/results, please see https://www.fotosidan.se/blogs/manshagberg/meyer-optik-gorlitz-orestor-forts...ok.htm#9621208 |

Around 1990 this part of a shut down paper mill was transformed to be headquarters of the IT company Telia. The great dome was added and the pool constructed atop a parking garage.
Camera Pentax K-1. Lens Zeiss Ikon Jena DDR Flektogon 20mm 2,8, here at f9.

The illustrated tip by member pschlute worked well! Thank you very much.
FOLLOW-UP PROBLEM: When my camera is turned off, this setting also is turned off. I cannot find a "Memory" option that applies. Is there any solution?

I am actually unimpressed. I find few signs of personalities here, just exteriors of young/fresh or old/wrinkled people. Good portraits get the viewer close to the subject´s personality. For me, #7 fits that bill best.

A lens for special purposes. Mine is for the APS format.
It is invaluable for rainbows, haloes and other ultra-wide sights. A double rainbow (102 degrees in diameter) fits comfortably in the APS format. It shows off-center round shapes with less deformations than other ultra-wide lenses. Off-center straight lines are bent and so need special care when composing a picture.
It is good for interior shots in cramped spaces and occasionally for special effects.
The new version of this lens can be used on a FF camera like the Pentax K1.
