Thought the thumbnail looked like it might be one of yours...a glance at the title and I knew for sure!

The expressions on these mannequins are getting ever more realistic. I should imagine the next step will be to introduce human looking robots initially in window displays but subsequently doing the full 'catwalk' thereby replacing expensive 'supermodels'. Wot...no tantrums?

That 70mm f2.4 is a nice lens isn't it? I'm seriously thinking of getting one...seems to work well with the extender too.

Thanks for your comments 1steverpentax.

I have a long history of fascination with mannequins, and their intended and unintended reflection of capitalistic values and social norms. These “dummies” are on the front line, attempting to model proper consumer enthusiasm for happiness via spending.

I love the 70 mm and was delighted to find the marriage with Pentax’s extender was a happy one. It also works exceptionally well with my Tamron 70-200 f2.8 lens.
