Every one a winner - particularly number 1, or perhaps 2 or 3 or .......

Thanks, gents, for your encouragement. I'm thinking of getting round the fixed screen blight by using ImageSync and possibly mounting my mobile on the hot shoe mount.

Having followed the development of the K-3 iii, I gave in to temptation and bought one from MPB. I don't need it, it doesn't have a flippy screen, it's a bit heavier and bulkier than my K-70, but I got it anyway! Incidentally, I see from the Pentax Forum serial number database that it was originally bought new by Malfis, one of our members.

Last Sunday morning was misty and it persisted long enough for a respectable get-out-of-bed and have breakfast time ! All hand held and dickied-up in pp.

MPB still have one for £1249. (I've just checked). I got one from them last week for the same price and is in best condition. I see from Pentax Forums database that mine was originally purchased by Malfis!

OOPSY! Got from Mike-P not Spad! Sorreee. I must have been too impressed with Spad's pictures.

Trying out my 1.4 teleconverter bought on this forum (Thanks, Spad!) on the 55-300 f4.5 lens. Nos. 2 and 3 are at full stretch - 420 mm.

Thanks again folks!

Spad - I think the focus point was too close, not where I intended! Yes, I have 'dabbled' with hyperfocal.
The other one I took there is better for focus, 16-85 lens, f8.

Thanks for all your comments.

No. 2 - f13 on the 16-85 lens (K-70) for 10 seconds. According to the Exif, I focussed at 4 metres. Seems awfully close!

Here's the boat in b&w -

I went on a photo workshop in April organised by Image Seen. Very enjoyable three days and well organised, I can recommend them to anyone looking for a workshop. (https://imageseen.co.uk/). Feel free to criticise and comment!
