The Great Solar Eclipse is coming to the U.S. in August. Does anyone on the list have prior experience photographing eclipses?
I'm planning to use my K-1 & K-3, but I'm wondering which lenses would be my best choices? The pool of lenses I can choose from (full frame): D FA 15-30 f/2.8 Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 FA 77 f/1.8 Ltd SMCP-A 100 f/2.8 Macro Tokina ATX Pro 80-200 f/2.8 Sigma 300 f/2.8 Additionally, I have the SMC Pentax-DA L 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 AL & SMC Pentax-DA L 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 AL WR APS-C kit lenses. I need to figure it out now so I can go ahead and order the appropriate solar filters for whatever lenses I'm going to use. I have a viewing spot south of Great Smokey Mountains National Park picked out, but I'll be looking for other options as the date draws nearer based on weather forecasts. If anyone knows long term weather trends & where I will find the highest probability of clear skies, chime in as well. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
