What can a 40 year old lens and an extension tube produce......
Love the lilac image, very nice! I've never tried the A* or FA* versions but if you nail the focus is it surprisingly sharp, especially stopped down a little. But then, most of the time you want the lovely bokeh, so almost wide open it is... :) Thank you whoever I bought this from. I think it ...

What's bad about this? C & C Please.
I like it and see nothing wrong. A judge needs to be able to back up their comments with reasons, how else could someone be expected to improve? And how else can judges be expected to be held accountable for their judgements?

That old sunset problem - RAW challenge
Interesting challenge :) WB set to Daylight in LR, applied K5ii colour profile (QPcard), and a few digital ND grads. Foreground +1.0EV grad, highlights adjusted in sky, and a circular grad applied to the sun to bring back some detail. Haven't got the machine with my X-Equals film profiles... bu...

That old sunset problem - RAW challenge
Uploaded to Lr. Slightly warmer WB than daylight, lightened it up a bit, raised shadows, clipped highlights, removed noise. Went into ColorEfexPro 4, enhanced detail, added neutral grad to darken top and lighten bottom. Back into Lr to remove the extra noise due to excessive pp!! :lol:

12 ICMs - Landscapes
Each to their own. Or am I just the odd one out. Sorry but to me they are just a lot of out of focus camera shake photos that do nothing for me what so ever. To me (a philistine) they look like some of the so called "ART" that is about now. CHEERS Vic.

Pentax 'Anti-Shake' let me down
I was photographing the Brentwood Mayor-Making from the public gallery -- I used my K10D set to ISO 1250 and a 75-150mm f4 SMC Pentax-M lens at full aperture and 'AV' exposure mode -- well, the pics looked OK in the viewfinder for focus BUT they are all un-sharp due to shake and I had the Pentax 'An...

Pentax 'Anti-Shake' let me down
Hi Peter, 1/50th second at 150mm may be a bit of a stretch. I assume you had to put the focal length in first for the Shake reduction given the use of a manual lens. Is it possible you entered the wrong length intended, as its a zoom lens? In the first the central character looks sharper but a...

Pentax 'Anti-Shake' let me down
Hi Peter, Looks to be camera shake at about 40 deg. If they are important Focus Magic could recover quite a bit. Do it in 2 processes... 1st fix Motion Blur at 40 deg. Distance Value 4 2nd Fix Focus at a Blur Width of 3 The FREE version allows 8 goes (I think) http://www.focusmagic.com/ ...

Pentax 'Anti-Shake' let me down
Thanks for all your 'Expert Input' How nIce :roll: Well then the following opinion is for anyone else wanting to try this: It's a combination of things by the looks of it. Basically almost everything is wrong. Way too slow shutter. Manual zoom, can't have SR set accurately. SR doesn't work as we...

A few snaps from Germany
Very informative Gwyn...thanks for posting. Funnily enough I have just been reading an old aircraft magazine that's been in the magazine rack for years unread..."Flypast" magazine from March 2009 ! There is a really interesting article in it about Squadron Leader Joe Berry of the Royal Air Force ...

Few B&W shots with my LX.
that's a real nice set....like being back in the Sixties! :) Actually the Mods in picture 3 were probably around in the 60s with the same Vespas and Lambrettas, but now they look like a little "seasoned"... :) However I also pics in colour in the case you guys would like top see them. Very ni...

Few B&W shots with my LX.
I printed this pics taken with a Zenit 12XS at Asda for my ex landlord in London and the kid was astonished to find out it was a film shot, he asked me how many pixel my camera had and said he couldn't stretch it more but it could have dealt double the enlargement he had made. :) I agree that fil...

Recent Film Shots with the gorgeous M 30mm 2.8
Nice looking results there from a very interesting lens .... Glad you found it Alastair, quite a special item. I find it odd that they bothered to make a 30mm as well as all the 28mm lenses. Is it really much different? It's good to see the 'latitude' of the film at play in your first shot ther...

Recent Film Shots with the gorgeous M 30mm 2.8
I used the K30/2.8 as my Single in April lens. I posted a few pictures on here too. It is lovely and stunningly sharp when you nail the focus. K.
