So I went to a subdivision a block away to take pictures at their park area, during lunch time today.
I tested a new lens I got for 50 dollars shipped. It's from the 70s and it's got a few blemishes on the body, and the aperture ring is kinda loose. It still takes great pictures though: (taken with medium quality jpeg and not change in any way, other than reducing the size of the jpeg)

I also finally got around to do a decent test of one of the freebie lenses I got. It's an old manual Macro lens that's really hard to focus. It's not the sharpest macro lens out there either. It kind of sucks, actually, but the colors are OK and even its softness can be artistic. I guess it was a good one in the 70s: (I had to up the brightness and contrast just a bit, this is a pretty dark lens)


You can get this lens all day on Ebay for 10-20 dollars. You need a Pentax camera though, or an adapter mount but it's not the same thing as a lot of times it doesn't allow you to focus to infinity.
That 2nd one is flowers so tiny in a bush, that people probably walk by them and never even see them. I think that's pretty cool

So I'm pretty happy with 8 lenses LOL
This is what they talk about when they talk of "Pentax colors". They're very cool, even in most of their cheap lenses. You kind of buy their cameras because of the 25 million + lenses they have out there. Or, like I did, because you find a cheap deal

I kind of want a newer body just for the sake of better ISO performance, because my pictures taken inside the house still kinda suck...
Once my 32Gb memory card arrives (got a gift card from Best Buy...) I will start taking pictures in RAW mode.
