Stopped at the scenic overlook on the Mystic River, to take a couple of shots of the resident tall ships. I had dropped the Kalamar 500mm f8.0 Mirror Telephoto into my light bag just because. That lens is capable of amazing things, as well as producing unparalleled disappointments.

Manual focusing a super telephoto using the stock focusing screen in the K5II can be a trial, but I took extra care that the in focus indicator was lit before shooting off a series of shots at this kayaker. This is the only image that was usable, and only at web size.

As usual comments are welcome but may be totally ignored.
