First gig with k-5 mkii and DA* 16-50mm
Hi Russ Not a problem. When I upgraded from the Tamron to the da* first thing I noticed was it didn't hunt as much as the Tamron and there was a significant improvement in image quality with regards to colour and contrast. The k-5 mkii allowed the lens to lock straight in focus. I don't know abou...

Snowdonia Meet Pt. 1
Thanks Dave. No.3 was taken on the path back through the trees (quite a bit outside the barracks), if that makes sense :? Regards Adrian

Iceland sightseeing trip
Thanks guys...it really is a photographers paradise, I'd love to go back again but next time just for photography as most of my shots were taken whilst on organised tours so time/locations were limited Simon

I need an objective eye -please.
Thank you all for taking the time to look at these for me. :D 'tis muchly appreciated. My pp has I think always been a source of amusement or horror - can't do it to save my life. :lol: I wish I could get someone else to do it for me. :roll: So if that is all the problem is and no one else can...

I need an objective eye -please.
There's a little bit of blur in a couple of these Charlotte, but I tend to agree with the others that the lighting is probably the single biggest thing that is holding these back. That is, apart from your own self-criticism and self-confidence! You really are hard on yourself, needlessly so IMHO. ...

MP-E65mm is what my lba is lusting after at the moment. :oops: As Mike points out, the required kit doesn't start and finish with one lens Charlotte. It's possible that some of the image degradation that you are perceiving is due to the converter you are using. I'm not sure why you think you need...

I need an objective eye -please.
Hi Charlotte, I would personally stick to a 50mm f1.4 0r f1.7 on tubes with good diffused lighting and crop. Take a look at what Thomas Shahan is using. It's a very simple setup, however he tends to trap the subject, take it back to his studio and once he has the shot he wants, takes the subject b...

Charlotte, if you were to look back at those images in a few weeks time I think on reflection you'd be quite pleased with them. You are still too close to producing them, aware of any flaws and already know how you could improve them, but it is the law of diminishing returns. They're absolutely not...

Yeah Charlotte, some of macro shots you've put on here have been really really memorable. I love macro and I'm looking forward to the season changing, the DA100, tubes & Pringle tube seem to satisfy me, so I'd agree with Steve and say keep it simple and also offer another gentle boot to the rear...

Tokina F8 mirror lens
OK, purchased this lens in the second hand section of a now gone local camera shop in Orpington on a whim a few years back. Never really put it on my K10d until now. Just tried stalking my sleeping border terrier, Baxter, in the garden. Don't think it's particularly sharp, but quite good fun! Must ...

MX-1 first pics
OK, here we go, the first pictures from my new MX-1. Lots of caveats on these for several reasons but mostly because the new version of Silkypics is very different to PDCU4 and my HDDs are bursting at the seems! Once I've worked out how to work Silkypics I hope to post some more. The shots below ...

MX-1 first pics
Thanks John. I have a general problem with brightness as I'm using a laptop and it depends how far I fold the screen back. Now that you mention it, a couple do look a bit light, but others #1 & #4 in particular look OK on my screen. I'll have a look and see what I can do (once I've worked Silkypi...

I have a general problem with brightness as I'm using a laptop and it depends how far I fold the screen back. Just a reminder of what I'm sure you know, John, which is to make use of the white to black strip at the bottom of each forum page - just tilt the laptop screen until you see all the shade...

Coming back home....
.....to Pentax :) A few shots after a bit of playtime over the weekend, largely around dog-walk time! Nothing terribly serious yet, but the K-5 is like coming back to an old friend. It just fits. (Bit of PP fun with that last one :) ) Thanks for looking, Jon
