Pentax Takumar 28mm f2.8

Rainbow out front of house. Saw it, had to shoot. Fast, focus is off... but this is the one that came out best, so...

2 shot panorama

One last image from this set. Unfortunate flare I didn't notice when taking the shot - would be nicer either more or less pronounced - but overall I still like it.

I continue to be impressed by this old lens for the price. Originally I hadn't really planned to use it on digital, however the lower contrast but high detail and sharpness actually works well for digital processing, and on high contrast scenes like this.
