Portrait with Pentax M 50mm F1.4
Subject movement may well be an issue at 1/80 sec. You are right to try magnified live view as it is the most accurate way to focus a manual lens. i love using the old lenses on the modern Pentax cameras

Test images of DA* 60-250mm on K1 (baffle removed)
Right now that's exactly right. Baffle is out and the mount part (to the left of the baffle) is back in/on so as it stands you can see some of the lens circuit boards etc. Some use the lens like this 24/7 with no ongoing issues but I've emailed John Pye Technical as they're listed as the place ...

The baffle can be pulled off and glued back in whenever you want, no need to buy another part.

B&W Steam in Motion
We live close to the Nene Valley Railway and last month went along to our nearest station, Orton Mere, to see a Black 5 loco on its way back to the East Lancashire Railway having been on loan to the Nene Valley. I have found from experience that when these locos pull away they can produce a huge ...

Mesh curtains on tubes
Hello all, here are some more experiments with a short tube on short focal length(s) - I think these are all 35mm (I also took some with a 28mm) with a 12mm tube. The combo seems to get me somewhere I like (I'd already done 28 + 12 on some bamboo shots a while back), so it will be a recurring tool ...

Gorgeous tones in both images, Lenny. There's a form of intimacy in St Ann's Well which quite appeals to me.

... There's a form of intimacy in St Ann's Well which quite appeals to me. There are better views to be had, but it's difficult when the current tenants park their car out the front - the windscreen is just visible in the dip in the bushes :(

Very nice. Did you use a touch of sepia in the pp ?

Pity about the modern brick thing on the right of the 2nd image (not your fault!). That aside, it almost looks like a half plate contact print from years ago.

Thanks for the comments! Pity about the modern brick thing on the right of the 2nd image (not your fault!). That aside, it almost looks like a half plate contact print from years ago. In front of the Priory Tower is the Abbey Hotel - the original part is nice looking and in keeping with the surro...

Excellent shooting - one of those shots that isn't just a technically good shot, it's a great image - composition, point of focus, lighting - it's spot on 8) If anyone has seen the film "Quatermass and the Pit" then it may look quite familiar :shock: :D

Colour and Texture
Thanks folks. It's amazing how little things can make a picture - that band of texture in the first and the crater in the second are hardly members of the 'In yer face!' club, but the eye/brain definitely picks them out first. Mention of rainbow paint (I bet somebody really is working on it......

Beautiful photo - is that the DFA* or the FA, if it's the latter then it's particularly impressive :wink: It is the old FA lens. Yes a great performer. i bought it a few years back off a forum member. I have been finding that it is a great walkabout lens to put on the K1 when I don't want the weight...

Beautiful photo - is that the DFA* or the FA, if it's the latter then it's particularly impressive :wink: I wondered exactly the same thing and thought it must be the new DFA*. I'm amazed that it's the old FA version - sharpness and out-of-focus rendering are superb.
