Took the dog around the block yesterday for a quick walk and brought the K3ii that arrived that day for a quick once over! I use a different brand as a 2nd camera body for weddings but wanted to get another Pentax camera so I could use the lenses I have already over the 2 bodies. Another K1 would have been nice but funds didn't allow so I bought a K3ii.

Having just used the K1 for years it was a shock how light the K3ii is with the FA 35mm on the front! Also, the RAW files differ with how you can play with them! Really enjoying using it

All these are with the FA 35mm.

I decided to lift the blacks quite high to give a more artistic approach. Still playing with this editing process, thoughts?!

I love the delicate nature with the softened blacks. Looking forward to seeing some more in this style from you.

That swan image (No.3) is the stand out one for me.

Cheers
