I’m still cringing at the appearance of “sewage outlet” in the same caption with “kite surfing at” and “close to swimming area"…

The lens seemed to work well enough on my various film Pentaxes, but I'm not too sure about it on the Sony. Maybe I'll have to upscale the adaptor quality? Thoughts?

The  image also had auto light levels applied, additional colour saturation boost of 8 and was sharpened to 41 all in PSE, as it certainly didn't look great straight out of the camera.
