Runners

The following photos I took from a low point (i.e. ducking) with a Pentax 55mm F/1.8 lens (last produced in 1977 but still works like a charm).
It is somewhat tough to get moving subjects with manual focus, at least for the spoiled generation that we are, but with practice it becomes a walk (or run..) in the park.

Sigma 24mm Super Wide II F2.8

I like to use this lens for street photos because of it's field of view on APS-C cameras and I find it meters quite accurately on my K-x, considering the challenging light conditions the ever changing streets can have.
You will note that these shots don't tell anything about the sharpness and color rendition of the lens, but are just an example of a possible application.
