Sun Zoom with Snow

Yes, it snowed today.
I went through my stuff to find this lens and get it out again.
It is old. Sun Zoom Telephoto, f:4.5 - f:22, 85mm - 210mm. T-Mount, adaptable for most anything. Manual focus, manual aperture set, pistol handle has trigger to stop down the aperture to preset value.
I mounted it to a Pentax K100 D body and tuned in ASA 800 and Aperture Priority exposure mode, with +2 compensation. Could have used more compensation, with the snow, and I added that digitally in editing.
These were captured through my kitchen window, double pane thermal glass, and hand held. Pistol grip helped to steady it.
The glass is clean, so this old lens still has a lot of life left in it.
