Pentax K1000 Highway 30 and Rockford Beach

The clouds cleared out today and it got warm, so I thought I would go catch some more fall color before it begins to wane.
I used a different Pentax K1000 body than what I used a couple of days ago. This one is from an earlier variation, and recently acquired by me. After cleanup, I wanted to give it a good test.
I also wanted to test a couple of lenses recently cleaned and repaired: the standard Pentax SMC-M f:2/50mm that came with the body, and a PROSPEC Koream-made 35 to 70 zoom lens that I overhauled a few days ago.
For the test I loaded up with another roll of Kodak 400 Max from my freezer stock.
I started in our front yard, went west on Highway 30, and ended up at Rockford Beach on Big River near House Springs.
Lenses and body did okay, I believe, but the film was a bit on the grainy side, and a little bit of a challenge to draw out the images from the negative scans.
