Hi all,
While mowing the grass today, I happened upon a rather sizable and
horrendous-looking spider having a bite to eat in the backyard and
figured I ought to try out Larry's K100D Super with the reversed K
50/1.4. I have to say, I'm rather pleased with the results.

Same as above, slight angle variation, slightly tighter shot.
Nice shots, it would be interesting to have some idea of scale, how big
is that monster?
I rather like that camera, Larry!
The K100DS is a surprisingly sweet camera. Kennyboy, is actually, in
part, responsible for my getting it. I read his piece on why he liked
his D40 so much, and was nearly convinced to get it, I also liked the
lower pixel resolution of that sensor, the same as in the D40, to get
better performance. When I found out about the advantages of the K100Ds
over the D40, for about the same money, that's the direction I went.
I like the feel of that body better than any of the other small bodies
I've used (K-x, K-r), and the jack for the external shutter release. I
wonder what it would cost to get the delaminated viewfinder repaired.
BTW, any word on the repairs on your camera?
