The DA 300 has been a challenge getting used to a long FL again. Definitely out of my swim lane with this one.
Mounted on the K-1, this combo is a workout when walking around, but I'm going to keep at it and look for more birds and flowers for now :).

They just had a feeling you'd be buying it soon.

A decent month with the K-120mm. This lens has a long focus throw (~330°), and can sometimes be a challenge going from close focus to long distance in a hurry. Better planning from the user helps with this.
Other than that, this is a gem of a lens to play around with...back in the cabinet for now.

I missed yesterday. I'll have to do a make up day for the selfie.

Checking in with the SMC 120mm f2.8. A great lens! My copy is a little soft at 2.8, but stopped down a click or two and it sharpens up nicely.
If I were into portraits, I would keep this lens on my camera all the time. MFD is pretty nice, and the smooth focus of the SMC lenses is as expected.

Decided on the K Series 120mm f2.8. I've used it once or twice, but needed something longish for a change.

In again. I think I need to set the 24mm aside for now and go with something else. Lens TBD

The 24mm is still working for me. Lots of indoor projects for subjects right now.

Still hanging in there with the SMC 24mm. The lens is performing better than I remember :)

That is what I was thinking. 24mm for 2024. I'll start Jan 1 with the 24, and by the end of the month if I am pulling my hair out, I can move on to another lens.:lol:
If I find a deal on the SMC 24 f3.5, or a TAK 24 3.5 I might sprinkle those in too.

I'm feeling about the same. I'm misses yesterday, and didn't want to throw up another safety today.
I have the rest of the year off, so maybe I can get a couple keepers to post.

I'm in for January. I need to decide between the DFA 100, or SMC 24 f2.8.
If I could pull it off maybe the 24mm for 2024.
