If you don't mind manual focus, the Tamron 90/2.5 is a good lens.

Royal International Air Tattoo 2009 with a K-7 part 1
I missed the Apaches as I was stuck in traffic at the time :( Were these taken from close to the runway on the crowd line or back amongst the stalls and ground displays?

The runway shots were taken from within the Friends of RIAT enclosure, which is at the furthest end and without anything in fro...

First Ever Macro Attempt
Yer, all old pentax lenses are compatible with ure K20D and you generally use manual focus doing macro so its just a cheap idea to get you going. I use my tammy 70-300mm for it atm LOL Ide certainly crop out that corner, as for the term thing Others could explain it better than me, ime still v...

What a great location :) Apart from those blinds in the window and the extractor fan (?) you could be stepping back in time.

Lens stacking macros
I was experimenting today with stacking lenses and started out with my 77mm ltd and stacked a 43mm ltd on top. I also made up an adapter to attach my AF-080C ring flash to this rig. I am only about 2' away from the subject when taking these shots and it can be very tricky achieving focus, es...

I'm glad they're macro shots Clarky!:shock: Considering the juggling you must be doing to focus, they're pretty damn good!8)

Zambia Safari
Hi everyone. I've been back from Zambia for around 6 weeks now (feels like 6 months!) but I've not had much of a chance to post some images for your perusal. We were lucky enough to spend 3 days near Victoria Falls, Livingstone before traveling to South Luangwa National Park and then on to the...

A View of the Tate Modern
Bob, back in the day when I had first bought that album, I really envied those photographs and who took them. They're iconic now. Cheers.

Spider's web
It's a lensbaby in sunlight. I'm still trying to work out if it's a gimmick or a useful tool. The lensbaby introduces a degree of distortion at the edge and you can move the centre of focus around. They do look better on my PC than here though which I don't understand. Mike

Spider's web
Pauly - the LB is proper bayonet mount. Check out their web site. It's a real two element lens either plastic or glass and the tube is a wobbly plastic tube that lets you shift the lens in relation to the sensor. In that way the sharpest spot in the frame moves around the sensor and the exploding bl...

I'm happy to comment but I'm no wildlife expert! I'd say all three could be sharper. Do you sharpen after resizing them? The first two look as though they god focus although the last one does not. I would crop the last one differently as the space at the bottom and right doesn't really contribute...

1. The eyes seem just a bit out of focus - if compared to the hair, eyebrows ?! Isnt it ? It makes him look somehow "misty". 2. Ineresting coast. Havent seen such IRL. Nice sun-color. Sky adds a lot. You have been quite busy recently. Nice to see your pics again :)

Thanks all for comments! On the first one: Aiki, you are right, the eyes are just out of focus and the beard is in focus. I agree that this puts a bit of mystique in the picture and maybe that is why I like it. (But basically this was not intention but an oversight on my part; sometimes it works ...
