Walking with the SMC 55mm f1.8 K lens.

Inspired by JR's write ups;
Familiar shots warning, but it is one of my favourite walks.
K1 mkII shots mainly f8 and taken underexposed and PP'd in RT. No CPL this time or filters, all landscapes, enjoy - hopefully.

There's a lovely quality to this lens, and a great set of images.
Best regards, John

What you need are lenses, more lenses, bigger lenses, better lenses, faster lenses, vintage lenses and when you have these, your pictures will be perfect!

I love this lens. You have used it exactly the opposite way to how I use it. I go wide open - you stop down; I get close-up bokeh and you get a fantastic depth and distance (as in #2 and #5). It shows how we think, perhaps? I go close in and you go wide out. Either way, it shows this lens for what it is - superb! I shall certainly revise my own thinking, having seen these.
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass
