+1 I can't see any issue with this. I may have a trawl through my old slides and see what I can come up with. John

Weekly #251 Focus and rejuvenation Discussion
Good to see a topic generating a bit of discussion for a change. My advice, if you're one of the many Pentaxians who have a manual focus lens, put it on your camera and take a photo in your garden, find a baby, that king of thing. If it's too much, just wait for a week and there will be another ...

You can't have a competition with rules ie a subject theme, and expect not to exclude people and their potential entries. It's part and parcel therefore cannot really be a 'concern'? Are people really excluded? Not from enjoying the results, be they few or many. If these older lenses are one of P...

There is a MF setting on my camera, seems to turn AF lenses to manual. If the deadline is 18:30 I'll enter a shot from my lovely new/old Vivitar 135mm ;) I.e. after I get in from work and before other duties.

who knows, maybe we can have a week hunting round Worcester. Now that could be restrictive. Query - I assume it doesn't have to be a Pentax manual lens, so any old M42 (+adapter) with glass in it will do - it may not win - but it meets the criteria. So I'm off to find a suitable subject ...

The clue is in the title: Weekly Competition. It comes round every week. If you can't enter it for any reason then there's another one due next week. David Storm won last week's competition fair and square and the choice is entirely his. Give him a break. David, if you get a low entry console you...

Reading all this with interest. My son bought his first DSLR just before Christmas, a KR and kit lens. Next purchase, an M 50mm. Within a month of Pentax ownership he had, like so many others, an old manual lens so I don't think the subject is too restrictive. Good luck with the completion.

I have loads of manual focus lenses, but no pics of anything that fits the theme "rejuvenation" :lol: I am away, without any of my MF lenses, so will probably not be able to get an entry in this week, but it's good to see that despite all the moaning there's a good set of entries building up.

I can do MF rejuvenation but not associated with spring. Sorry.

But what difference is manual focus meant to make to the image. If it's in focus it's in focus It's just a competition theme Barrie! Nothing too deep about it but I wanted to see shots taken with older manual focus lenses which demonstrate skill in manually focussing which can't be demonstrated wit...

Uploading for the Weekly Competition is very straightforward. Just click 'Upload' and select the relevant image from your hard drive. I really don't see how it could be any easier. The Forum itself is different and requires a link to a hosting website.

The thing that puts me off the weekly competition is having to judge the next one, in the extremely unlikely event of winning! :shock: That would be really scary!

It's a fair comment that anyone entering the weekly competition should be prepared to have a go at setting and judging the nextr one. I too can't see how uploading to the weekly competition could be any simpler. It makes the process quicker if the file size is reasonable, but that's the only thin...

I'm reading all of this with some amusement:shock::D:shock: I have no agenda other than enjoying using this site, which I do for almost 100% of the time. I try always to be honest / open when placing comments on images, or posts in forums. When setting the competition theme I have attempted t...

Just a quick update on this week's competition - we have already had 15 entries and we're not yet at the weekend, so it's not going to be 'a record low entry' as was predicted earlier this week:D The standard of the entries is extremely high - I would recommend you pop on and have a look as there...
