my that is a good lens, the shot's are very nice indeed. Well done for climbing out of bed at that hour, well worth it.

Kinda thought those things would have been retired now (thanks to satellites) like the Blackbird. Atmospheric 'spy' shots - (wonder if anyone was photographing you at the same time?? )
Pentax pour des images riches en détails!

Surprised your not posting from Guantanamo Bay.

If you are, can I have the lens, it appears to be a cracker
