Autumn evening on the Inn [Explore 11.11.2021]

            The River Inn forms part of the border between (Upper) Austria and Germany (Bavaria). Here a view from the Bavarian side looking across to Schärding on the Austrian side.

Captured with my darling little Pentax Q (no bigger than a box of cigarettes) and the charming "Toy Lens Tele". At closer distances, this lens will produce images that are sharp enough, but beautifully soft. At infinity there's not an ounce of sharpness left! And yet, isn't it a beautiful image all the same? At normal viewing distances is the lack of sharpness disturbing? Or doesn't it give the image a painterly quality that a sharp lens simply could not imitate?  Let me know what you think!

The image is much as it came out of the camera. The colours have been ever so slightly intensified, but I did my best to preserve the character of the image as the camera and lens recorded it.

05 TOY LENS TELEPHOTO 
PENTAX Q (2011)

***The PENTAX Q "Toy lenses" are tiny manual-focus primes with a fixed aperture.  They were rather misunderstood and never caught on.  I think that's a pity.  If one takes the trouble, they can give beautiful results.  They are NOT toys, and are anything but simple to use well.  As with any equipment, you have to recognise the possibilities and respect the limitations.***
