Excellent shots at 6400ISO.

I regret selling all my Olympus and Canon lenses! Ha!Ha!

Still got 4 Nikkors and a Bronica S2A and Minolta Autocord

Edit: Just remembered I've still got 5 Oly lenses

I also had a SMC Pentax_M 100mm f/2.8 stolen and had to replace it.
I always regretted selling a Takumar 35mm f/3.5 more because of how
well made it was, but have resisted buying another.

I like No. 2 the best, but they are all good. I've got that lens
but hardly ever use it since I got the 150-500mm. It's a lot
lighter to carry round though and in decent light performs well.

There are different versions of the Chinon 28mm f/2.8
I have one in a K mount that focuses down to 200mm = 1:4 Macro

You have to scrape some black paint off for it to work on
the K-5

That's what I was suggesting, but it's not made in Pentax fitting.

That's so sad!

Like your sig Kris:

What was he on!

DOI were a supplier in the 70's did some decent
tele-coverters and filters. Don't know if it's the
same company or not.
