I submit this photo not so much as art but as a lens test. I recently bought a SMC Pentax FA 35-80 off Amazon $40 shipped. Looked to be new in the box. I took it for a test walk Thurs. I wasn't expecting much but I have been pleasantly surprised. This zoom range seems to be on everyone's walk-around lens list. I think I have found mine. Putting this on my K-5 seems a little silly but here's the result.
These ladies happily agreed to my request for a photo and posed themselves. The only issues I have otherwise is terrible lens flare as it has no hood. I have ordered a couple of lens hoods to see if one helps.
