Thanks for commenting Will!
Thank you Todd! Have you made it out with your Tak yet?
Thanks so much for the compliment Cardinal! Yes, I used a tripod as I seriously doubt I could steady the camera and keep the focus.
Thank you Roman!

Wow! Thank everyone for the very supportive and encouraging comments!! I am really pleased with the lens, and maybe the K5 allows it to really shine. I have to say I cannot see any difference in quality of images between this lens and the other's I use frequently. I am sold on trying another older manual lens. Not sure which one but I am going to keep my eyes open.
A couple of things to mention. I used a tripod for all of these shots. I doubt I would get such clarity hand held. Also, it takes me a long time focus so catch in focus would be out of the question. Other than that it is a five star for me all the way!
Thanks again for commenting:)

Woohoo! This is the first lens I actually purchased on my own. A forum member had it listed for $35.00 and it is a prime 135mm and I thought to myself, self, you know you like primes, so why not give it a shot, and I did! After a day of fiddling around, trying to figure out how this manual lens works on a K-5, I finally got the hang of it... and... I love it!!!!! (Thanks Gareth!:D)
Here are a random selection of photos from today and yesterday. All manually set and focussed... What do you think?
A very strange fungus
ISO 800, f/5.6 1/100
Old garbage in the woods
ISO 400 f/8 1/100
A funny pot
ISO 100 f/5.6 1/500
My favourite subjects
Tripper ISO 800 f/8 1/400
Kenzie ISO 1600 f/8 1/160
and with the TC, it automatically focuses with the teleconverter on, but the results are very mixed with lots of flaring and purple fringing... the Vivitar is much better on its own
ISO 400 f/8 1/35
