Ha! Ha! That's a very funny site
It does look a bit familiar though

The fuschia bud on the 2nd shot is really sharp.

Is this any better on the 1st. I sharpened it twice?

It sounds a lot when you talk about litres
Not such a lot when talked about in pints

Super shots and the lens looks a winner

I like the extra width in the original.... it has
a wish I was there look to it

Looks like you might be in closer than the min. focus
of the lens.

Still a nice shot and might sharpen up a bit more.

It should be OK, but is probably wide enough for 35mm film.
You can get away with a longer hood on APS-C.

I prefer parallel metal hoods that you can leave on the lens
and fit a lens cap on the end of the hood.

I've actually got a Heliopan 52mm on my K 28mm f/3.5 but they
are very hard to find. It takes the 52mm lens cap on the end.
There's one on ebay but it's too long and would suit a tele.

The one I've put on my Pentax-F SMC 28-80mm zoom is this
one link I used a 58-49 stepping ring to fit it and it takes a 58mm lens cap.
The outer diam of about 60mm is the same as the lens.

They do the same hood in 52mm, but I don't know what size lens cap
would fit it.
