Some of you might know I had a K-7 and DA 21mm stolen a few months ago. Insurance covered the camera, but didn't extend to the lens (my fault). I wanted to get into some lower-light street stuff, so I picked up a Sigma 30mm f/1.4 second hand recently. It's a very workable focal length, but very slightly too long for an ideal street lens for me, so hopefully in the future I'll pair it with the 21mm limited (unless Pentax comes out with a fast 24mm, dream = 24mm f/1.8 WR), which would be a great combo.

Anyway I just thought of this because I was going through some shots I have from just before the camera went walkabout, and edited this one, which I'll post here - and will have a bigger version up on my website too.

21mm was a little gem. Sharp enough, tiny and fast AF.

I'm not sure how many people are familiar with the website American Suburb X, but it is a great resource.


They've just put another little gem up:


INTERVIEW: "Henri Cartier-Bresson - Famous Photographers Tell How" 1958

Thanks for the feedback. What I have decided on so far is up, along with some other stuff:

Thanks very much for feedback, really helps choose the keepers.

Missed the tenth shot somehow.

Photos over four days in Wellington, New Zealand. All with K-7 and Sigma 24-60mm EX f/2.8 or Sigma 10-20mm EX f/3.5.

Some might make my website, some will end up in the B-side box. But I thought they were interesting as a four-day shooting series.

No titles as yet.
