Tested here for your viewing pleasure!
I happened to catch a humorous moment in time, taking place about one kilometer away from me. 😉

Although I did not realize it at the time, here I captured the power of nudity at a distance!

.
On an outing to the vast expanses of Florida Bay, inside Everglades National Park, I brought along a recent acquisition to test out:
The SMC Pentax 645 A star 300mm f/4 ED IF lens.
This is a manual focus lens produced in the 80s and 90s for Pentax’s 645 medium format film camera system. It’s easy enough to adapt this lens to a digital SLR cam, in my case the APS-C format Pentax KP. This results in a little more reach, the equivalent of 450mm in 35mm “FF” format. This is a very, very sharp and useful lens even if a bit on the large side, since it was made to cover the much larger 645 image format. On APS-C format only the center area is used, the results are really quite good. Being a lens with ED elements, there is no fringing nor other optical aberrations even wide open and the IF (internal focus) allows quick, easy and up close focusing action. I look forward to making extensive use of this fine lens!
