Re: What Pentax gear is on your shopping (or wish) list?

Similarly, it's been quite a few years since I worked with Pentax cameras. I do still have one Pentax lens … the L39 mount version of the superb 43mm Limited (SMC-Pentax-L 43mm f/1.9 Special) which was and is my all-time favorite Pentax lens. I use it on my Leica cameras where it never fails to

Re: PESO: Kaikoura Beach

Thanks for the comments, everyone. Ralf, adding a touch of yellow did cross my mind but it was getting late and adjusting colours is something I sometimes struggle with. I might have a look at trying some other time. The ominous-looking sky was nowhere near as bad as that in real life. It

Sadly, Pentax no longer makes the sort of gear that I'm interested in. Olympus/OM System on the other hand... Cheers Brian > On 15 January 2023 at 15:43 Larry Colen wrote: > > > It was recently observed that there is almost no discussion of Pentax gear, or > even gear for your Pentax, on this

Re: What Pentax gear is on your shopping (or wish) list?

My preferred lens is the 55-300 PLM, that is very useful for butterflies and dragonflies. For this I had to buy the K-70. The reasons are: - my K-1 is losing too much resolution with this lens. - I will never buy a K3-III while I use live view in many situations. - KP not being available. APSC is

Stock agency question

I’ve started putting images on Shutterstock. Learning a lot about what is expected of images to be available. So far about 50% acceptance rate. Tried Adobe. 100% rejection. Can’t reasonably assess why. What other agencies would you recommend? -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To

Re: What Pentax gear is on your shopping (or wish) list?

I’m actually content with my gear. I really like my K-5 and have no desire to buy a newer body. I do wish that my 17-70 was weatherproof, or that my wife’s 18-85 was wider at the short end. Oh, and that my 80-320 was sharper. Rick > On Jan 15, 2023, at 10:19 AM, Steve Cottrell wrote: > >

Very nice Collin! I’m impressed with the sharpness after the cropping, and the DOF is used very well. What sort of bird is it? Rick > On Jan 14, 2023, at 3:56 PM, coll...@brendemuehl.net wrote: > > Wanted to go to my favorite city park to shoot today because, as so rarely > happens on a

Re: What Pentax gear is on your shopping (or wish) list?

The 24-70/2.8 is my most used “normal” lens. It’s a reliable workhorse and quite sharp even wide open. I too would like the K3-3, but at my age I can’t spend like I once did, so my K-3 and K-1 will suffice. Paul > On Jan 14, 2023, at 11:43 PM, Larry Colen wrote: > > It was recently observed

We went for a day trip to Kaikoura the other day. Here's a photo I took on the beach. http://gallery.multi.net.nz/photo/1194/#peso I'm not 100% happy with the rendering but it's a tricky exposure and I haven't had a lot of time to work on it. Pentax K5ii, DA 16-45mm F4 Cheers, Dave --
