My neighbor loaned me her father's Sears KS Super outfit. The camera is a late '80s Pentax K-mount slr made by Ricoh. I was initially leery of the lack of manual shutter adjustment, but I quickly got used to shooting the camera, and the auto-exposure worked well. The 50mm normal lens was very sharp, and the kit also contained a 135 and a zoom. Seems like a nice setup for zoo shooting.
Great cat portrait. Eyes are expressive, whiskers look sharp and OOF is pleasant. Great tones in the furry face and neck.
ReplyDeleteA 135 or larger, with a decent aperture, mounted in an auto SLR is indeed a good kit for zoos. You've shown a penchant for animal portraits before, so I can't wait for the results of this loan.
