A few days ago I made a lovely new lens aquisition, curtesy of my dad (provider of all things photographic), a pentax f2.8/28mm lens. Very nice. I’ve taken a few shots over the last couple of days, a test film if you will, but so far it seems very nice. Not as sharp as I expected, but that could be just me (no controlled tests as of yet). Below I bring you an introduction to this nice lens and also some of the fall colors that are showing up around here. Below is a shot of a tree turning starkly red just around the corner from us.

More….
The walkway over the train tracks had some cool patterns on them.

Another red tree in the parking lot where I park. Colors (as with the above, not adjusted! That’s the tree color and that’s the sky color. Man I love autumn!

The only thing that kinda sucks with this “test film” is that I accidently left my camera set to 400 ISO instead of the lower 200, but that only really affects you if you’ve got your nose really close to the monitor 🙂 I think they turned out well though, how about you?
