Hi Mike,

Thank you very much for such detailed and thorough response to my query! Based on this I will order the 77mm wide angle adapter, and start using my Lee filters on the DA 12-24.

All is well here in the frozen North. Currently we have record high winter temperatures, so no snow yet.

I have been looking for your images on Flickr, but it seems you have abandoned Flickr? Do you have other galleries where one can view your film and digital astro photography? Have you purchased the K-1 or are you still using the K-5 when using Pentax cameras?

All the best!

Does anyone have experience with the Pentax DA12-24 and Lee 100 filters? Does the Lee 77mm wide angle adapter vignette? Are there are issues with adding weight to the outer barrel of this lens? I mostly use my Lee filters with my Pentax 67 lenses, and they are an all metal construction build to withstand armed combat😎 The plastic casing of the DA 12-24 seems a bit fragile in comparison. Maybe circular screw-on filters are better suited for the DA zoom?

Great trio, my favourites are the "fishy" ones. The fish-eye perspective of the skyscapers are very interesting. Thank you for sharing!

Nicely framed doggy Beautiful tones!

Superb set of images. Thank you for sharing!

They should have changed the heading to: «The Best Sony, Nikon, Canon and Fuji cameras for low-light photography»

I have never seen a juxtaposition of an expensive camera and popcorn, like in the first photo (Sony A7S mark II). I always keep popcorn away from my camera equipment, especially when changing film

I love doing photography with my Pentax DSLRs and 35mm and medium format film cameras. When I want to shoot video, of a family occasion or a music concert, I use my iPhone 8 plus The 4K video output of the iPhone 8 plus is surprisingly good for such a tiny device. But then I am no video professional, I only shoot video for fun

This is a very interesting development. Digitising negatives with a dedicated film scanner has been so much more convenient than the time consuming and tedious work that has to be done to RAW files from DSLR film scans. I hope you share your experience with this plug-in when it has materialised.

Very nice trio. My favourite is the first image. I have the pleasure of owning a Samsung GX-1L (Pentax ist DL2) that was IR converted by Richard Gadd, and calibrated to auto focus with the DA 18-55, which is a lens he used himself for IR. My DA 18-55 is more or less glued to the Samsung, a great lens for IR.

This is very exciting news! I am looking forward to trying the new Ektachrome.

The last few years I have been scanning my fathers Kodachromes and Ektachromes from the 1960s and 1970s. I scan 35mm slides and negatives on a Minolta Dimage Scan Elite 5400, and the results from Kodachrome and Ektachrome are very good. I have only shot Velvia 50 in 120 format and have had mixed results with scanning this on an Epson flatbed. Dense Velvia 50 film is really very demanding to scan with good results. Hopefully the new Ektachrome will be as scannable as the older versions of Ektachrome. Anyway, exciting times for those of us that enjoy film photography.
