You are lucky to live close to some lovely countryside out there.

Now to the important stuff...bike. Laverda Jota !!!!! Top notch bike of a bygone era, when if a family saloon was lucky to be a 1.6 this bike was 1,000 cc !!!!. 3 cylinders and sounded like magic.

When I was riding bikes (age 19/20) I had the chance to buy a second hand Ducati 750 or a new Honda 550. My head won the argument (Honda) and I have regretted it ever since (40 years).

Ah to be young again. i don't think my back or insurance fund would be able to cope now !!!

ps. I have a feeling Laverda did a special edition Jota with a 1200cc engine at one point?

Oh come on. We all know that extension tubes + portrait lenses are for portraits of very small folk. Stop kidding us

I entered this competition. I came nowhere, but was still very glad to have the opportunity. The fact the President preferred some blokes on bikes to my lovely Rio is not hurting me ...much !!

Seriously though, well done to Pentax and to SRS.

I see the latest one is a Pentax /Instagram competition. When is the Pentax /Pentax User one launched John? 100 years of Pentax ain't going to come around again in a hurry

Some great captures here.

Yep....dance on...

Super set

Just read the review John. I must say I was impressed with the results, which for a 40 year old zoom lens are very very good.

As a collector of the M series lenses I do use the primes a lot more than the zooms. On the back of your review i might just give the zooms an outing or two

Nice set.

Really like the third one. So glad you enjoyed your trip.

Very unusual angle, well done.
