Justin Bieber, k-5 mkii & the Tamron 400mm f/4
Finally got the chance to work my new k-5 mkii and Tamron 400mm f/4 combo tonight at the Justin Bieber gig at the MEN Manchester. Shot from the back of the arena I still needed to crop a little, but wow really pleased with the results. ISO 2000, no noise reduction used

Thanks David I was really pleased with the number of keepers I got from shooting MF usually I would be lucky to get 6 or 7 good shots, tonight I got over thirty, which is a significant improvement and down in part to the mkii focus accuracy, even when shooting MF it is so much easier on the mkii.

Now I have carbon wrapped it the Tamron looks fairly modern, I actually had some envious looks as where told it was a pit shoot, but when we got there was told the venue had ordered us to shoot from the back so most of the togs didnt have long glass with them ;-)

Astonishingly good if you were right at the back of the MEN. #1 is a particularly great shot and incredibly clean - really shows what the combo can do. Have to say I keep seeing #3 as the 'audience member's fist in the groin reaction shot'. Sorry :oops::twisted: EDIT: Oops. K10D beat me t...

Great shots Gary, it's the subject matter that just does not cut it for me. That last shot is a peach, one dark punch to the crown jewels.... Best regards My thoughts exactly. Great shots of a particularly crass manufactured subject matter :) And I won't accept any 'Old fogie' accusations as I...

And I won't accept any 'Old fogie' accusations as I thought David Cassidy back in the 1970s was also a "particularly crass manufactured subject matter" I thought that too, Smeggy... But, How Can I Be Sure, In A World That's Constantly Changing?" :D:D:D Glad to hear you noticed a marked improvemen...

I work away from home during the week, in Brentford, and don't have much opportunity to 'play'. Having recently bought my new shiny pentax I have been desperately waiting for a chance to try it out. These were taken after the sun had left the sky on the river just at the back of my hotel. Not...

Third image works well for me although it looks a little soft at the back

Good capture Don. I've never seen him race but knew his dad well, back in the late 70's when I covered a lot of motorcycle racing. Easy work in those days! Still have the slides in storage from those days. Best regards

I'll try to dig them out as they are in the UK and I'm not due for a trip there until later in the year. USA first and if I get time, the UK on the way back here . There's also a set of Barry Sheen with Pat Hennon I did at Cadwell. To be honest, I need to scan them all! Best regards

Back from trip to Ross Sea. After taking 3 cameras and lots of lenses, I mainly used K5-IIs, and K5 with Sigma 70-200 F2.8 HSM 2 Macro and Sigma 17-50 F2.8. Occassionally 18-55 WR kit lens.Also used CP filter almost always. Longer lens than 200mm would have been good for shooting wildlife on the pac...

"Excellent images. Any problems with cold temperatures? " Surprisingly little. I had 5 x K5 batteries. Always kept a spare in a warm placed pocket, and would rotate batteries when they showed low power. However, the "low battery" would recover on warming and be rotated back into one of the camera...

Just a bunch of Daffs
hello Ted I love the bright colours during the present gloomy weather:D I feel that the photo is soft with no real focal point. perhaps you meant it to be soft focus? i like flowers to be sharp when close up. Dave

You are right about the soft focus. I wasn't aiming for that, but did like it when I saw it.

Taken on a bitterly cold grey day using a Pentax K-01 with focus peaking enabled and an SMC Takumar 55 F1.8(M42). Not the best focal length for this shot but was trying out my newly acquired Tak bought from sorted78 on this forum.
