After quite some time looking I have finally got my hands on a K200 f/2.5 lens. As some of you know, I have been slowly collecting K series lenses. I thought I'd show off... Here it is mounted on my K2DMD. The photograph was taken using a K-3 with a SMC Pentax 'K' 50mm f/1.2 as it seemed appropriate to shoot one K series lens using another one.

Thanks, Kris.

Nice to see. I haven't seen a hedgehog in years, not even as road kill. They used to be quite common when I was a kid. The "I like trucking' song from "Not the 9 o'clock news" seems a bit sad now 36 years later,

Funny that, I bought it from someone in your neck of the woods...

Cheers all, K.

Great image!

I would leave Ektar at its rated ISO100. It is a really nice film when exposed and developed well, but has some nasty colour shifts when things are not perfect.

Thank you.

I was using a tripod and a small extension tube to improve the close focus distance. K.

Thanks both.

I didn't do much PP: slight adjustment to the black point, upped clarity and vibrance, slightly more sharpening than the default in Lightroom, and some noise reduction. All quickly done with the sliders in Lightroom. I tried the lightroom defringing but it didn't seem to make any difference so I gave up. Oh, and I gave it a 5x4 crop which on the whole I find nicer than the default 6x4.

I'd forgotten about the stairs one. It was part of my "single in..." when I was doing that. I should start again. Perhaps when my SMC Pentax K 200/2.5 arrives next week.

Cheers, Kris.

Decided to have another go with my S-M-C Takumar 400mm f/5.6 lens on my K-3 with a small extension tube to improve the close-focus range.

Best wishes, Kris.

Great photo but no photo is worth dying for! Be careful out there...
