Our Shiva being a reluctant meowdel, giving me his signature "blue steel" pose.

When I first bought my Pentax Q-S1, I read about using Yashica 8mm cine lenses on it. These lenses can be mounted with a D-to-PQ adapter (link below), though only with manual focus and aperture control.

I managed to find an affordable set on eBay: the 13mm f/1.4 and the 38mm f/1.5. The 13mm is particularly interesting—it has a swirly bokeh and, with a full-frame equivalent focal length of 60mm, works well for portraits. However, there is some vignetting.

Focusing at f/1.4 on the small camera display is tricky, so I usually take multiple exposures while slowly moving in, hoping one will be sharp.

It's the 13mm that has the swirly bokeh and with a full-frame equivalent focal distance of 60mm not bad for portrait photography There is some vignetting though. Trying to focus using the small display on the camera is challenging and I tend to just take exposures while slowly moving in, hoping that one will stick.

If birds of prey are your thing, then India must be paradise. It is home to a remarkable variety of raptors, including eagles, hawks, falcons, and vultures. They are not shy either, and any rooftop offers incredible opportunities for birdwatching.

All of these shots were captured handheld using a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens.
