cool atmospherics. what the heck is a superzenitar? never heard of it, but would like to know more...

Vario zenitar is here Click here to see on Ebay.
Very good and rare lens in Pentax K mount (very very few in m42). Works out about 35-70mm roughly on a Pentax Dslr. They were still available as new a couple of years ago but expensive. The one that Alex has is at a reasonable price, they often go for £100-150, and don't come up that often. I got mine about 3 years ago for £50. They were still available at RuGift some time back. Helios has one too

Good capture of the heron. Good series, esp the 1st one with atmosphere of the looming trees!

Lens-wise I like the shots of the Canada Geese and the leaves. Sharp, contrasty and well saturated.

Thanks all, I was pleased at how they turned out, it was a horrendous day, the Lomo Volna was struggling with the cold (sad for a Russian lens) and I could see nothing in the viewfinder from my own breath. Went back today and it was worse No snow just cold and wet btw Tony you are right there are not that many Russian zooms Arsat/Granit 80-200mm is most well known and produced.
