On a similar note, the terms and conditions of their MyPentax gallery don't encourage anyone to upload their best shots:

I am not sure I understand where these terms apply? Are these terms related to the Pentax Photo Gallery? I have been studying the PPG terms and conditions, without finding the above quoted text.

I have the SMC (the newest version) of the Pentax 67 105mm f2.4 lens. The lens hood that fits my lens is a plastic clip on type hood: Pentax PH-SB (67)

Here is a picture of it: link

I purchased mine from eBay. Hope this was of some help!

My main concern with the possibility of finally being able to buy a Pentax full frame, is to use some of the lenses I already have "the way they were intended to be used". I have a beautiful A50mm f1.2 that I have used maybe twice since I purchased it two year ago, the 50mm FOV on APS-C is simply wrong for me. On a 24x36 format camera I suspect I would enjoy this lens immensly. The K28mm f3.5 is another lens I would love to utilize the way it was intended. I also have a very nice FA*28-70mm f2.8 that I hardly ever use, because of the non idiomatic FOV on APS-C. Hopefully Pentax will produce a groundbraking full format DSLR, that can become a good home for my legacy Pentax glass.

Pentax FF DSLR: I probably made a wise decision when I decided to keep on to my FA* 28-70/2.8. Should make a fine normal zoom on Full Frame

Impressive set of IR images! I have read in other posts that you have been shooting with a converted K-30 body, and have been looking foreward to seeing your IR images. My favourites are number 1,3 and 10. The last one (no. 10) is simply superb! It has the surrealistic, almost magical, quality that is a major attraction to IR photography.

I myself was fortunate enough to be able to purchase an IR converted Samsung GX-1L (Pentax ist DL2) from Richard Gadd some months ago. This camera is converted to 830nm, and although it is "only" 6 megapixels, I am enjoying the B&W IR output from this tiny camera immensly. I am probably becoming heavily addicted to digital IR, which must be a good thing...?

Looking foreward to more infrareds Bill!

All the best
Bjørn

I have two copies of this lens, probably my favourite manual focus landscape lens. Very sharp from centre to corner, and produces lovely vibrant colours. This is a very good price. Buy it!
