I don't have one myself, but the K-Mount Page says 58mm filter threads on that lens, are they on the outer barrel?
Super wierd if so, the F version of that lens just has 49mm threads right in the middle.

Got to shoot a couple bands the other week, so of course I reached for my Mavica FD-81
@shimbashistation.bsky.social and hailkingbob.bandcamp.com
Tough lighting, but I think it worked really well with the low-res low-fi images!

The shot is taken with a fisheye converter from ma very low angle.

Kubvan sighted!
The earlier, VW Diesel powered older sibling to the Grumman LLV. One of the rarest and oddest spots I've had in a long while, and it was just parked on the shoulder of a road out in the suburbs.

HPA Motorsports' New Beetle RSI, August 2025.

This thing whips, Midtown Madness II was a formative moment in my life and every time I see it I have to get another shot. They drive the hell out of it for a one-of-250 special, and I absolutely love it.
a silver New Beetle RSI sits in the rain outside an industrial complex. The photo is framed through the leaves of a small maple tree amd a bearded man is looking through the window of the car.

Cafe Ride, Aug 28th.

Met up with my dad most of the way around the bay and went for lunch along the bluff in the distance. Hazy out, more time in direct sun than I'd like, but any ride with my dad is a good day.

Beached

I've been feeling wide aspect ratios lately, and had that in mind when I went out for a hazy smoky ride at Boundary Bay on Friday.

Some moments from @langleypridesociety.ca 's festival on August 9th.
I managed to catch a shot of a senior in the audience finding himself in a photo from the 1981 Vancouver pride march during the queer history presentation, every other shot is just gravy on top of that moment.
Happy pride!
A television displays a photograph of the crowd marching at the first officially permitted pride march in Vancouver, from 1981. A man points at the photo, showing himself carrying a sign and marching. A flagpole stands out of a circular flower garden in front of a steel-roofed low rise building. There's three flags flying; Canada, BC, and a Pride flag low on the pole ready to be raised to open the festival while a crowd mills around in the background. A small group of people sits in chairs facing a three-person panel behind a table at the front of a room. A group of people stand outside the front windows of a building, with some festival booths under the overhang. There is a person in the foreground facing away from the camera wearing a "Volunteer" shirt and waving a bubble wand.

Moonrise, July 2025.

Bicycling home always clears my mind after work, and there's nothing quite like pedaling towards the rising moon at midnight.

I picked up this 52mm Kenko Centerfocus at @camera-traders.com last month, and I've been experimenting with the effect from different front spacing, this is 120mm off the front of a SMC-Pentax M50 f/1.7 using a whole mess of adapters and threaded hood bits.

#Photography #Bloomsky #Pentax #Echinacea
An experimental photo of a bumblebee pollinating a purple echinacea flower in a sea of yellow echinacea flowers. The photo is taken through a "Kenko Center Focus" filter on the end of a long spacer tube, leaving just the flower and bee in focus, surrounded by a severaly blurred and halated vignette, and a black tube vignette in the distant corners. The "Center Focus" filter is a +1 Diopter close-up lens with a hole drilled in the middle, and the spacing tube exaggerates the distortion to give a peripheral effect similar to wearing someone else's glasses but with a sharply focused center.

Morning ride, Aug 1 2025. I don't usually get up in time to start a ride before 10AM but I was out at 7 for a spin from New West to Lions Gate and back. 80km isn't that far to many cyclists, but it's my longest single ride to date.

Still having a ton of fun shooting the Pentax M200 f/4 at events, it's a bit of a challenge to catch moments in focus but I've been getting smoother every weekend.

Like seeing a ghost, the closed Vancouver HBC store. I don't get downtown very often, but I thought it would be fun to take the IR setup on a trip into the city and photograph some streetscapes.
