Its a superb lens, I've had one for over 10 years, I'm surprised the seller is suggesting a +9 adj on his K3, I appreciate all lenses are marginally different, mine needs no adj on either my K5 / K3ii or K1.

Just ask Mike P how he rates this lens, he's had at least 3 that I know off, ( I purchased one off his for a good friend last year ) , sold then regretted, then re-purchased

A stunning full rainbow against a dark sky over the river Fowey when the Mrs seriously bent my ear about having a camera permantly attached to my hand, I stupidly left the camera in the car for the sake of peace.

I've not let her forget the moment

Thanks Stuart, its a subject I've not done much with either, up until recently, I've been inspired by Derek's images and though I'd have a go, its early days for me at the mo.

Here's another one from yesterday, I like the dropping petal, which I didn't notice at the time of shooting

First foray into live macro, a vivid blue flowering bush in the garden buzzing with bees collecting nectar.
