I don't know what your reply means. I don't understand the first clause of the sentence, and I find six meanings for the acronym "DDAS" and I don't understand what any of them might have to do with the photo I posted.
Perhaps you could explain?

They are certainly a phloxie color! And a lot of the other wild mustards have yellow flowers. So phlox isn't an illogical guess by any means.

Rokinon/Samyang f/2 16mm, at f/4
with Tiffin Warm Low-Light Polarizing Filter *
plus Pentax K110D
[ * I got this filter to try on my f/8 500 mirror lens, but I was curious whether it's reduced polarizing effect would give a more even sky deepening effect than the standard polarizer I tried on it one time that gave me a much darker sky on one side of this lens's wide view than it did on the other. At least, for the lighting in this shot, I didn't get that sort of drastic disparity. On the other hand, this polarizer seems to affect both focus and metering. I have to focus by eye and ignore the camera's focus confirm light. To shoot aperture priority, I have to use the camera's manual mode and the ae-l button. ]

As those flowers have four petals, and all of the phloxes have five petals, I am pretty sure that you are looking at a massive patch of Dame's Rocket, a non-native-to-America member of the mustard family. They can range in color from white to pale blue, very much like the wild phlox known as Sweet William, to lilac to pink, to deeper blues to violet, sometimes all in the same patch of them.
The bad news is that they are often considered invasive competitors to whatever native flora that should be growing there. The good news is that means you can pick as many of them as you want -- if you have permission from the landowner -- since picking them while they are in flower prevents them from going to seed and dropping thousands of seeds per plant! They are known for their fragrance, too, which probably explains why pioneers brought the seeds from the Old Country.

Yes, I did leave the hood on, but I could take it off for a few more shots before I switch to other lenses for the rest of the film roll. I am a bit curious about the sort of vignetting that will be produced when misusing this lens this way.

Well, now I've gone and done it! I forgot my Rokinon-labeled f2/16mm Samyang was for APS-C sensor dslrs only! I went and stuck it on my Pentax ME Super SE film body--Oh, no........................................!
But it's funny, I haven't noticed any obvious vignetting in the viewfinder. Maybe there won't be all that much. Has anybody else tried the f2/16mm on full frame by accident or just to see what happened? If so could you post some results.
I'm in the middle of a 36-exposure roll of film, at the same time I am shooting some other film and digital, so it might be a while before I have scans showing what happened in my case, but meanwhile I am curious about what sort of results others might have gotten at full frame with this lens:
--more or less vignetting than one might expect?
--not so much vignetting at certain apertures or focusing distances?
--ugly or attractive vignetting with certain subjects?
--everybody should try this or nobody should try this?
Thanks in advance for answering posts!

It's going to take me days to read all of the 50 pages of this lens club discussion thread, so I apologize if this question, or a very similar one has already been asked or answered here earlier....
I have read that all of the Sears lenses labeled "Made in Korea" were manufactured by Samyang. Is it reasonable to suspect that any other lenses from that time period, labeled "Made in Korea," were also manufactured by Samyang, or were there any other South Korean lens manufacturers of note who might have made some of them?
Part of the reason I wonder about this is that I have just gotten a Chinar 2.8/35mm lens. As some online images of Chinar boxes show, they were "distributed" by Chinon, but unlike "Chinon" labeled lenses, which were made in Japan, Chinars were made in Korea. Does that mean they were made by Samyang? Perhaps so, unless somebody else in Korea might have made them.
Who designed some of these lenses from the decades when Samyang wasn't selling its own lines of lenses, may be unanswerable. Vivitar has always claimed to have its own lens designers, Sears, probably not. Would Chinon have submitted designs for Chinars, or have only submitted certain design requirements? My Chinar's aperture ring turns in the opposite direction from similar Chinon 35mm lenses, but that might not mean that the glass component system isn't very similar.
Anyway, this home of Samyang lovers seemed to be the place to hunt for people with more historical info on Samyang's manufacturing and its relationship with other lens sellers it contracted with.
