I haven‘t posted a new set for ages, been a bit lazy!

I grabbed my new to me KP and DA 40mm on the way back from the shops and took these as a first attempt. It‘s such a lightweight and interesting combo, I think it‘ll be a permanent fixture in my work bag.

Hope you enjoy but either way I‘m always open to C&C.

Yes, I did enjoy them - particularly the last one .

If you put the KP + DA 40mm in your work bag, will it turn it into a pleasure bag? .

The last one is excellent.
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

As the guys have said - the last one is probably the pick of the bunch, although no.1 has some nice lighting qualities to it too

Thanks for the kind comments, I tried a Pentax-M pancake years ago but never really got on with it.

The whole camera + lens looks pretty unobtrusive so I think this‘ll encourage me to get out and about in lunchtimes and on the way home.

My DA40 is the older pre-HD one but for about €125 I‘m not complaining!

Ooo-err, a pleasure bag sounds like some kind of Victorian euphemism.
