Apologies for the same old shots looking over Plymouth.
I know it's just another (post) sunset, or is that blue hour? but here they are anyway, Spad didn't rate/like 'em (I wonder where he is nowadays and what he's up to?) here's a few. They are as the actual scene, however I was a bit late getting set up but managed these, PP'd in RT just to lighten up a bit on exposure.
K1 mk2 and DFA 70-210 f4 zoom.

Continued;
I had to hold the camera over a security fence so not very good and no perspective vertical mods.

A favourite walk around Mountbatten and the Grade II listed building the old Flying Boat Hangar built in 1917, former RAF Mount Batten.

Ah, your picture shows that it isn't a Pentax tripod mount. Someone must have found a 3rd party mount that fits.

I have a dfa 70 to 210 f4 and there's no obvious serial number, didn't look under the tripod mount though hope that helps.
