Have you made it gradient?i've messed around with the idea, and putting an it anywhere but where the aperture of the lens is results in vignetting that's way too severe.
You will think it should give vignetting but the aperture also makes the beam of light smaller so you would think it would vignette as well... still don't understand the workings behind that...
But enough talked about that...
Do you know if this lens focus past infinite if so that 1mm might not be so problematic to swap mounts. Since it's an manual focus lens i doubt it will though but you never know.
You might even be able to shave some of the back of the k-mount you want to use maybe?

It was indeed a bit pointless this review a bit like comparing a land-rover to a Ferrari...
I wonder how fast Pentax will update the 645D.
It's quite interesting camera but the processor kills it I think, they should have put two in it or a faster one and a SD-port that can handle USH-I speed, you've files of 60MB so little bit more speed might have been welcome...

Thanks Don.
I'm having problems again loading support.apple, don't know precisely what the problem is but hopefully i can get through to it tomorrow.
Oh it works now...
Looks like that might be useful will give it a go next time

Forget the Kinfisher Beer Stefan, HG discovered one at a local supermarket (I think during your abscence) it was called "Asahi" but wasn't brewd by Pentax

Love that first picture!
Me too was really surprised how well it came out with HDR.Love that first picture!
btw content aware added some things to make it a bigger photo, here is the normal exposure without the blank parts filled to give you an idea.
Content aware also removed a whole house in photo 3

Thanks all
Yes it was a nice vacation, celebrated new year there, that was quite special
I've shot most photos actually with the 16-50 lens but they aren't that special but the few photos that I shot with the DA*50-135 came out so much better. Like you said I'm really not used to be looking at 16mm, I've used the 100mm and 40mm for almost a year and later bought the DA*50-135 so never worked with wide angle except the occasional photo with the 18-55.
I hope i can master the 16-50 a bit, i do like to play with the lens it surely is more fun the range.
About the photo, you are quite right, sky isn't on 1/3th but i find it good enough though. Might update it later maybe.
Your edit surely has a different impact, maybe cloning away the branches on the right might help a lot to calm it down even more... i might give it a try

But seriously though, we each see what we want and use the lens best suited to capture it, I often look at EXIF data on an image to tell me what lens I used only to find it says 50mm, then I have the problem of working out if it was the 16-50 or the 50-135 A bit like your number 4 I suppose that comes from years of carrying around a 35mm camera with only a 50mm lens attached because thats all I could afford.
And yes, number 4 works best for me (with a bit less sky)

Surprisingly made the best landscapes with the DA*50-135 and not with the DA*16-50
Not surprising at all Stefan, we all see things differently, thats what makes us PENTAX usersSurprisingly made the best landscapes with the DA*50-135 and not with the DA*16-50

I really like this set. The images are quite striking.
I hope you don't mind, but I had a little play with #5. I was attempting to complement the drama already in the shot. I do like the result, but I think maybe it feels a little bit 'busy'.
Thank you and I don't mind at all, always interesting how someone else see the photo and might edit it.I really like this set. The images are quite striking.

Couldn't it be the air/heat bending the light, something like a thermal?

I find it a pain that windows in Apple don't 'maximise' properly to fill the screen and hide all the crapola in the background... but there's an app called RightZoom which fixes this behaviour.
