A hot afternoon and feeling a little lethargic so I thought to try and liven myself up by dragging out one of my manual lenses - today's choice being the Pentax-A 70-210mm F/4. This lens was a firm favourite in years gone by particularly when paired with my Pentax Super A.
While I still have the Super A, today's images were taken with a K3iii.
Camera settings were TAv (1/1250 at F/6.3) Auto iso. Images processed in Lightroom and Topaz
