First pics with my K-r
I set my focus up so that there is only one red dot where I am focusing. You could try this setting and see if it also works for you.

Go Karting
A very wet Llandow kart club meeting. I was of course on my own taking photos because the Caninkons were taking shelter, in fact they never showed up! I normally use my 55-300 but because of the weather I obviously couldn't so had to use the DA* 16-50 instead. This has convinced me that I need to sa...

That's an interesting comparison of the focus effectiveness with those lenses. I like the last, but maybe cropped to take out the top LH corner?

I wuv my nieces to pieces...
Got to meet my new niece Emily at the weekend - just over a week old! The usual suspects were there too! Alice poses beautifully for the camera and knows how to say 'cheeeese', but Olivia is just too fast moving for an in-focus shot with shallow DOF! 1, 3 and 6 wi...

Ghost Town Cemetery
Great idea, but it makes me dizzy! I think my eyes try to focus on that which is blurred.

Beamish Vintage Car Run 2011
Well that took me back more than a few years. Wonderful to look at some of the cars that I have either owned or driven. Great shots! Geoff

What gear are you using , and are you shooting RAW or JPEG ? Do you do any post processing ? Can you give us the EXIF for these pics ? All good questions and relevant for all your postings. So many of your photos seem to be out of focus, or of rather odd subjects. Please give us some feed bac...

And he only ever drops his photos in a new thread [ and some do not show up :( ] and never comes back till he's ready to start a new thread . He's never actually posted a word on a thread .

I've taken a look at his website. Hmmm. For those of a strong disposition only. As he is resident in Scotland, I am tempted to describe him as the William McGonagall of photography. G lend me a poond and i'll pay ye back Monday Oh gi to me a shilling for some fags :lol::lol::lol:

Great Crested Grebes
Yep, agree with Mat about trying to brighten up #'s 2 and 3. Good start to a story though. Keep going back and watch them progress. You may be lucky enough to capture them hitching a ride on mum when she's out swimming.

Hi Jukka, the focus seems a little off on 1 & 4, either that or a little movement induced blur. John

The first shot was f/7.1, 1/800th sec @ 55mm, not stabilized. While the second shot was f/8 1/400th sec @ 80mm, not stabilized. It could be that the newer lens would perform better at f/8, but I still think the focus is slighty off. John

I agree with George. Tests like this need to be done using a tripod and using centre point focus and both lenses focused the same way, ie; AF or manually.

Yes, yor are right. I notised also that on pic. 4 the focus a little bit off. I know that the test was "quick and dirty" test, but sometimes man take close up photos also that way. Anyway, thatks for your comment. I neet to do more testing.

BW. There was review on dbreview.com http://www.dpreview.com/lensreviews/pentax_18-55_3p5-5p6_p15/page3.asp That wasen't exactly the same lens as my is, but quite close: Reviewed lens: SMC Pentax-DA 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 AL My lens: SMC Pentax-DAL 18-55 mm 1:3.5-5.6 AL Review comment...

I think your technique is suspect. You shouldn't draw any conclusions from these pictures. None is as sharp as it should be. G I'm afraid this is correct, to my eyes, at least. I have both lenses, although the 18-55 is a mk.1, in my case, and they are both consistently easy to focus and sharp a...

Fairly quick test outside and the 18-55mm Mk2 easily beats the Flektogon particularly in the corners (test at f/8 only) where the Kit Lens has been reported to be weak. This one certainly isn't :mrgreen: The Flektogon does have nice out of focus areas (wouldn't call it bokeh) It goes OOF a lot qu...

[quote:3496ace15f="johnriley"]The oil drums had to stay, I certainly wasn't shifting them, but at least it shows us which way up the picture was. :) Some Yank will give you £100 for that oil drum! :shock: :mrgreen: Why?
