Hi Frankie bit of a problem there - as an old Pentax afficionado going back to 1980s I am fortunate to have a wealth of "old stuff" including bellows,step down rings,reversing rings and a couple of M42 Macro lenses which I use fairly regularly on the *istD. Regards Tony

Fortnightly competition 88 entries: vignette in mono
It has been a long time since I have done this so bear with me! Well done all for having a go at this, some of you may have been out of your comfort zone but that is good, I hope it has inspired you to further experiment in the mono world and you enjoyed the ride. I have based my judging on man...

Fortnightly competition 89 : Natures gifts
A gift in two ways. Firstly as the 'gift that keeps coming' (as long as I feed them!) and, secondly, because the spotty egg on the right is from an ex-battery hen who we have had 4 years now. She is the last of the batch and we didn't think she would last the winter. (and I know the vignette comp...

Fortnightly competition 89 : Natures gifts
Thanks everyone for all your great entries. Here is the judging, with the usual health warning that it is purely subjective and personal taste Frogherder - Willow Buds The first one of the mark, well done Bernard. A well framed shot of a tricky subject which fills the brief and taken at f/16 w...

Fortnightly competition 90 : Simplicity
I have to say I'm not entirely comfortable with judging this, but I promised Sally, so here goes. Please just bear in mind that my photographic skills are still in the early stages so much of what I say will be subjective, rather than based on any technical experience. Sandinista - Pieris Nice...

My apologies, but I have to go back to the UK for family health reasons and Milamber has kindly agreed to judge this competition in my place as I may not be back in time.

With respect, Frogherder. It doesn't. Our Aussie cousins in Melbourne will have to submit their pics by 4:00 am their time. The chaps in Perth have to do it by 2:00 am. After they get back from the pub. G

Hey, Sally, don't worry yourself about it. As John said, it hardly makes any difference whatsoever. Anyway, it's great to have you back. That's more important! And thanks for chossing a great subject....I loved it!

Fortnightly competition 91: Buildings
Thanks for those that entered. I had hoped for more entries but then it left me a rather simple and short job of judging. sandinista – Chester Cathedral A very interesting perspective of the cathedral, taken from just outside the fence. What makes this unusual is that there is a tree on the ri...

Gosh :oops: Thanks for that and well done to everyone else who entered and to Neil (darkskies) for coming up with the theme and for his comments. It is never easy to judge such different photographs. It's a shame there weren't more entries but I guess the weather hasn't helped much in the last fo...

Fortnightly competition 92: Weather
I'm not sure how much discretion there is to break the 'rules' given this is my first competition critique here. There was all that fuss over whether it finished at 6pm or 7pm recently! Missing EXIF could have been another issue - I even had to look on hosting sites to find some of it! John Thanks ...

Just a quick reminder for any last minute entries. As I'll be out at 6pm I'll endeavour to review the entries when I am back in and anticipate posting the result around 8pm (BST.) John

Weekly #251 Focus and rejuvenation Discussion
I'm uncertain why the stipulation for manual focus lenses only? It does seem to eliminate a large section of the possible entrants?

Weekly #251 Focus and rejuvenation Discussion
Hi John I'm interested to see images taken with older lenses. One of the joys of owning Pentax equipment is to be able to tap into the massive range of manual glass available at reasonable prices. Some of the older lenses are fantastic performers and I'm sure that most of the users on this site...

Weekly #251 Focus and rejuvenation Discussion
An interesting topic but I, too, think many people will not have a manual focus lens. I, myself, have only two left (discounting all the M42 stuff): a 500mm Tamron mirror lens and the 85mm f1.4 Opteka. Given the trouble some folk seem to have with front or back focusing then using an AF lens is p...

Weekly #251 Focus and rejuvenation Discussion
I would think that most members would not have a manual focus lens and if they do have one, most likely they will have to specifically take the shot in the next 5 (wet in the UK) days. So that counts me out :( Likely to be a record low entry :(

Weekly #251 Focus and rejuvenation Discussion
The irony for me is that the only manual focus lens I have is my newest one - the fish-eye lens for the Q. However, if we have ever used manual focus lenses maybe we can look to our archives as there is no time limit on when the images were shot.
