A cracking set of photos, Asahi_, :) Back when I had my 200/2.5 (from spring 1985 to 1992 in Winnipeg, Manitoba), I can't recall ever taking snaps of birds or, for that matter, wildlife :eek: I did, however, take a bunch of concert, spot news and feature snaps for a couple of newspapers and that SMC 200/2.5 had great contrast and, when I did a good job of focussing, got some decent snaps :) ... I'll try attach a few .. and I got lucky with one NHL hockey snap :eek:
Cheers and continued great shooting :)

Some of Rock and Roll / Blues shots from the 1987 to 91 :)
Shot with my Pentax MX and/or ME Super (w/ winders) and, lens wise, mostly a Pentax SMC 200/2.5
or SMC 135/2.5 or SMC 85/1.8

Using my "pre Pentax Pentax, I shot this young fellow with his MX and SMC 50/2 .
My 'pre Pentax Pentax' is an sixty seven year old AsahiFlex IIb with a Takumar 58/2.4 and,
aside from the camera being as old as I am, it, also, takes photos without light leak ;)
Cheers and, BTW, the photo of me and me Asahiflex was taken by @secondteamkyle :)

Taking a page from "howieb 101's" book on some concert photography .... from Thursday (March 1st) at the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver, BC, some Q7 and Fisheye lens pics from a concert of the UK Heavy Metal band -- Architects -- I love the look of the photo in the last pic and the totally oblivious to the scene of the photog in 2 through 5 ;)

…. on lenses :( and K-50 body :confused: and Q-S1 body/kits
The "big" increase is the DA 560 lens with it going up
well over 1K but under the 1.5K mark. The other
two (2) lenses with (not as) large(ish) increases are
the: HD FA- 70-200/2.8 and the HD FA 150-450/4.5-5.6
lenses at over $100 but under $150. The other kind of
big(ish) ones are the 16-85 and 12-24 at under $90 and the
Q "08 Ultra Wide" at under $80.
The others range between "just under $20 and under $50"
FWIW, I'm in the photo retail business in Vancouver, BC and received
this in an email from Ricoh-Imaging (aka Pentax) Canada.
**EDIT**: In the subject line, I should have put "RICOH-IMAGING/PENTAX CANADA"
