K55 f1.8

I chose Pentax on account of the weather sealing and in-body stabilization. I'm loving the choice I made, but less for the initial reasons and more for the wealth of high-quality glass that's out there, both new and vintage. My latest is a manual lens that's at least thirty-three years old, the K55 f1.8.

Unless my subject is beyond the infinity point, manual focus means frenetic action shots are challenging to capture. No, this is a slow-food lens, one that invites me to savor the moment. Shooting with it is meditative and comforting, and the process feels like a return to film. Me likey.
