That's a useful feature of the Manfrotto tripod, to be able to slide the extension up and then out to the side. Good for macros too!

That is the old-style right angle finder which fits everything up to the K series cameras (K2, KM, KX and K1000). The M series cameras onwards up to and including the K7 have a slightly larger viewfinder. Sadly genuine Pentax refconverters for M onwards go for silly money. There are third party ones available on ebay but I haven't used one.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Nice to see somebody else still using an ES.
Best regards.

The little Jupiter makes quite a good macro lens!

I was amazed at how sharp I managed to get the "Asahi Pentax" on the filter given its position in the frame. Wacky bokeh in the lettering in the background though!

She's a Sonnar design so sharpness was never going to be an issue...
As for the bokeh I rather like it! Gives the lens some character rather than just turning everything to a colour soup (like most modern lens designs do).

I am so intrigued I have just bid on a Jupiter 11! Just what I need, another 135mm lens

Another nice Sonnar. The 11 is a direct copy of the Contax rangefinder lens (often made with genuine confiscated Zeiss parts), the 11A was a slight modification to allow for a simplified manufacturing process. Both good lenses though.

Missed it. Oh well, I dare say there will be another one along soon...

Hertfordshire,
mostly.
1. Detail of the ES. Taken using a Jupiter-9 85mm lens mounted on a K20D with an extension tube. Note the wacky bokeh on the X of Pentax!
2. The ES mounted on a tripod with a right-angle finder, the 28mm lens and a green filter. Taken using a K20D with a SMC-M 100mm f/2.8 lens.
3. Wider view of the same set-up.
4. Same set-up, but showing what I was photographing.
Best wishes, Kris.
