I don't have much for you today except for these...

I learned another feature on the K-1 mII. Yesterday I had the camera set up for multi-exposure and forgot to turn it off. Today, I shot a couple frames before I noticed it was still on. I switched it off, expecting to lose the uncombined frames I had, but luckily the camera wrote them into two separate RAW files.

Super-Takumar 50/1.4 (8-element) M42 mount + Leica SL2. Hope this is okay to post here as it's using Pentax lens with non-Pentax camera.
First, the original poster is long gone, so I doubt there's any issue there. Second, this is the K-mount thread, so as far as I'm concerned any photos taken through a K-mount are fine with me! Thirdly, great image and I'm glad you opted to join!
Two more from me today. First one at 24 millimeters. I hope this church finds some resources to do some renovations. It's looking pretty shabby, especially for it being the town's landmark.

Second, this shot with my freshly repaired 1.4x converter and 400mm lens. Unfortunately, more surgery is indicated because I was getting some funky behavior with the combination. The lens wouldn't stop down with the green button, and the camera was giving me aperture values as wide as f2.4. Normally with this combo, the camera would say F--. I panicked a little, then tore off some masking tape and covered the pins, then all was well. Thankfully, I identified the problem when I got home... I put the short pin back in the wrong place. I intend to fix it tonight. Anyway, here's the best I could do with this combo before heavy clouds covered up the sun.

Only one more weekend to go in 2023, and I'm not sure how I feel about that.
I wish I had more time to shoot this one again.

The Daily-In January Challenge thread is available if you would like to participate. It's easy... any subject, any gear, one shot per day, and that's all. Have a look and hope to see you join!
More Pentax K-mount photos from today. Unfortunately, there is almost literally nothing around here to photograph in the wintertime when there is no snow or ice.

...and a reshoot of the misfocused shed from yesterday. This one was processed in color because of the golden sunset light. Doesn't make it look less like an outhouse though.
