Bought the K 200mm for a price next to nothing because the filterring is dented and also on the outside there are some bumps. But nothing serious, it doesn't affect the lens optically.

Enjoying using manual focus lenses more every day. Maybe you have to work somewhat harder to get a good result but it's well worth it.

Beautiful pictures and enchanting sexy ladies! Cool

I moved the thread to the "Oversize" gallery (size limit in normal gallery is 900px wide and 768px tall)

I have this lens... those shots are so well focused... Beautiful job.

Any guess as to what ap you were using? And what was the lighting from? Outdoor/stage light/flash.... Or a combo

Again nice work...

Thanks, I used ambient lighting only. Iso 800 for all the shots, couldn't get lower because it was cloudy and for f6.7 and f8 I needed at least 1/125s to get the fast moving girls in focus.

The RAW-editor used is Lightzone. Some extra saturation (10%) and I adjusted the sharpness. Also where needed I adjusted some blownout highlights, but only very minor. The rest is K20D + lens only. Not too much adjustments needed with this lens.

Until this moment this lens is the greatest surprise of the LBA lens spree I'm on Very Happy

The "greatest surprise" that is what the old Lens LBA sprees are all about! My greatest surprises of late have been the Tair 11a, The Helios 44M, The Industar 61... Laughing

After seeing your shots I am gonna have to pull my SMC tak 200 F4 out of the cupboard and give her another go!

Thanks for the lighting / Ap info... Your K20 looks pretty nice at ISO 800
