Cedar Hill with SMC-A 28 Prime Lens 062114

I continued my tests of that recently acquired Pentax K100 D, the one with the broken autofocus. This time I tried it with a different manual focus lens, a Pentax SMC-A 2.8/28 rather than the Vivitar 2.8/28 I used last week.

I headed out to Cedar Hill, Missouri, to see if the old mill on Big River is still standing.
The windows are just empty holes on the mill now, and the dam continues to deteriorate.

It was a hot and humid day, but the people in the water were probably enjoying it.

Lens seems adequate, though maybe like the Vivitar, I don't believe it is at its best at infinity focus.

The clothes on the log sum up the kind of day it was, nicely.

i couldn't see any problem with the infinity focus. I always like the 28 mm lens for wide angle as well. Any wider and the view is simply too distorted.
Did you jump in?

Very pretty pics! Is that a snake skin in pic 13? I like the tree hole in pic 34 . Interesting!

Too bad the mill and dam are deteriorating...but they still make good subjects.
Great photograph of clothes put out to dry. Speaks volumes about a summer day.
28mm lenses were always my favorites...not too wide...just right.
