certainly hits the mark. Superb.

In a perfect (photographer's) world a higher vantage point to lift the horizon above the subject's head would have been ideal.

Well done.

The subject is a winner - a new perspective on the reflection. But the flared-out highlights and lack of contrast and colour defeat the image. Some Photoshop work to recover?

12 Takumar Lenses but no Pentax Body...?

About a year and half ago I discovered classic screw threaded Takumar lenses and how well they suited my Sony E-mount equipment. Since then I have accrued the mentioned 12 lenses alongside a few Zeiss/Contax lenses and a few more old Rokkor gems.

I mostly use these on a Sony Alpha A7R body, but also have a Sony NEX 5N which turns the old 55mm & 58mm focal length lenses into beautiful portrait lenses - when shooting wide open (or slightly stopped down to f2.8/f4) the bokeh of some of these old classics is gorgeous.

I put most of my images on Flickr if any member is interested.
Example:

I am not sure what modern Pentax body to add to my kit so that I can use these old lenses. I understand that there are no Full-Frame bodies in the Pentax lineup, but that is not critical.

NIcely atmospheric. Some cropping to position and tighten onto key elements would be interesting.

Nice framing. Lots of "movement" with the light trails from zooming (I assume!!).
