DA*60-250 sample pics

Hi all, I am a new poster, but a long time member of this forum. I actually joined in October 2004, but never posted here as I was an active contributor to DPR and Pentax Forums, but DPR is becoming a little less friendly, so here I am. I was asked to post here by another forum member and thought that it would be good to contribute as it looks a good forum. I have just obtained a DA*50-250 f4 and a DA*55 f1.4 recently. Here are some samples taken with the DA*60-250. I wish I had taken a few wide open, as this is an all important aspect of this lens seeings that it has forgone the f2.8 max aperture and therefore many will want to be able to shoot at f4. I hope to try this out soon. 20D + DA*60-250 f4 @ f5.6, 88mm, 1/25sec, ISO200 K20D + DA*60-250 f4 @ f5.6, 170mm, 1/160sec, ISO200 K20D + DA*60-250 f4 @ f5.6, 250mm, 1/400sec, ISO200 K20D + DA*60-250 f4 @ f6.3, 250mm, 1/200sec, ISO200 K20D + DA*60-250 f4 @ f6.3, 250mm, 1/100sec, ISO400 K20D + DA*60-250 f4 @ f6.3, 250mm, 1/80sec, ISO400 Crop of above photo. K20D + DA*60-250 f4 @ f5.6, 180mm, 1/125sec, ISO200

Nice pictures Lance. I think I saw some of them at the "other" forum. My favourite is the gulls.

Glad to see you posting here, it is on the whole a very friendly forum, with more emphasis on photographs than most!

Thank you very much, Peter.

Yes, you would have seen them on the "other" forum, but as I am so impressed with this lens, I thought I should inflict them on everyone.

Thank you for your warm welcome. I like the idea that the emphasis is on photographs and that it looks to be much more civil here.

Where were they taken, it looks like you are fairly close to the ocean

I get some of those birds at my local pond. The swan is my fav

Thank you very much, Steve.

They were taken at Centennial Park one afternoon. I had just received the lens and decided to take a few quick photos to see what the lens could achieve IQ wise. I was amazed at the results and thought that I would share them so as anyone contemplating this lens could see how good it was.

Thanks again.

Thank you for the kind words, Martin.

I am sure that if you decide to get the DA*60-250 that it won't let you down.

Very nice shots, love the Pelican. Have the lens myself and am ashamed to say I have used it about 4 times since getting it a few weeks back.

Thanks for the very nice comments, Mike.

I guess you will need to get out and use it. It's summer over there, what's stopping you?
