From my front porch

[olroy2044]

I've spent a lot of time sitting on my porch while regaining my strength.  When I finally could lift and hold my K-7, I started messing around with some old lenses, and discovered an unexpected treasure. 

Vivitar/Komine f2.8 135mm  ISO400, f8, 1/200   M-42 mount adapted--only post-process a slight amount of unsharp applied in GIMP



Same lens  ISO400 f16, 180/second, onboard fill flash  as shot other than 30% crop in GIMP



I think this lens is a "keeper"

As ever, Roy, Welcome back. You were missed.
I hope you very quickly make a complete recover.

Now it is my time for porch sitting.
A very nasty arthritis keeps me at home much of the time.
I now walk with a cane when I can walk.

Aaaah, The Golden years.
To use proper medical terminology, "Rubbish".

I have always used a neck strap with my cameras since my first 35 mm took up deep water diving.
Now, as an added precaution, I have a strap that goes around my hand. It gives me a feeling of security. And my cane is an ugly old wooden one with a generous hook that can go over my arm allowing me to use both hands.

One of my welcome visitors: He would say "Chirp" but his cheeks are stuffed with oatmeal.
