With the 135mm it was so badly listed that you'd only find it by accident. I wish now I had bid on it, if only to resell!

A badly listed SMC-M 135mm f/3.5 didn't sell yesterday even with it's asking price at 99p!

Lightroom does much the same thing. I also rename them at that stage too.

I find sunny weather rather boring for photos. Give me fog or snow any day, although I agree that flat grey overcast is the worst of all. My biggest problem is that the best light is at dawn but I am not known for being able to get out of bed that early. Later in the summer I probably won't have gone to bed so perhaps I shall venture out then.

Can't help you with that one as I have never seen one for sale. In fact, I have never seen one fullstop

Yes, exactly that. Multiplies the focal length by five too.

I suffer from the "oh look, it's a .... That was the first camera where Pentax.... Oh, it's only .... " Result? S1a, SPII, ES, MX, ME Super (x 4), ME-F, LX, Program A (x2), Super A. I think that it is (excluding the two C@@@@n EOS's which get used on site and anything digital). I don't have any film bodies post the "A" series, largely because I only have one autofocus full frame lens. Mind you, that is the 43mm Ltd...

For what it is worth...

I quite like the composition. I think the little white building on the cliff top is burnt out, however (you might be able to "recover" it if you shot RAW). Although I am a fan of BW the conversion seems a little flat to me. It might look better with a bit of a boost to the contrast or a tweak to the curves (or just left in colour!).

The main problem, as you said, is the lighting is not very exciting. Dawn, dusk, sunny day with poofy white clouds... It is a lovely spot with great potential on a day with more interesting lighting.

Hope this helps!

Best wishes, Kris.

Are you coming to the meet? I dare some someone going will have one.

How about this one?
