All superb shots. The green paint on the barriers
really helps from a photographic POV.

I to have been struggling to get sharp images but the adapter + DA*300mm works well with video, as I found out last weekend trying it on a dipper:
Nice capture I thought the Shake Reduction
would have stopped it dipping up and down

The first version was just a T mount then they brought
out the T-2, they are both usually interchangeable.
Quite a lot of pre-set lenses used them including
Russian made telephotos. So a Jupiter 11A 135mm M42 can
be converted to a K mount by swapping the T mount.

I like it purely from the colour balance angle, the
white on the boat really stands out.

Does the lens have a "P" setting on the aperture ring?
Even if it does Ricohs own pins are usually rounded on the
ends and don't get stuck

Also, as setting the delay timer automatically turns the in-built shake reduction off when using the tripod, would it also switch off lens stablisation if that was switched on or would that have to be done manually?
I would think you have to do it manually. I doubt if there's a
signal sent to the lens that a timer/tripod is in use.

I turned my OS as it's not so easy to turn off SR in th K-5 - good results so far.
It's at the bottom of the list of icons on the 2nd page
of the LCD display accessed via the INFO button.

Switching to Remote Control (3 sec delay) also switches
it off. You can still release the shutter normally via the
release button.

The heads look to be Manfrotto 503HDV's but I don't know what
the long plate is Does anyone else know? Seems to be
Taiwan made by (D?)POWERS
