50mm f1.4 SMC Taakumar -- YES, the infamous RADIO-ACTIVE one -- I glowed in the Dark like Christmas lights when i got home

And this radio-activity probably contributed to those grains! Great shots.

Welcome and congratulations on posting the first "returning" post! More similar will surely follow after the "family" full frame goes on sale. Welcome back.

DxO Optocs Pro v8 is still free until the end of February.
Some says it's better than Lightroom. For free, it sure is.

Unmissable opportunity for those wanting an upgrade from the Pentax cameras bundled software. I personally very much like the DxO Optics Pro 8 Elite, its abilities and how nicely it co-operates with my K-5. It does the job absolutely fine and fits perfectly in the "mid range solution around the 100 quid mark at most" requirement, which the original poster is looking for

Wow, very much looking forward to your images of Mousehole area! I myself visit West Cornwall any time I only can.

It's for sure sixties judging by the look of those latest car models and worn sunglasses. But if someone recognizes the building from the first photograph, an on-line encyclopedia will tell the dates

Adverts keep appearing in the photos --

Yes, that's what annoys me and confuses many. I'm not with the Flickr any more any way, after they decided to get rid of Gmail users and made their photo gallery only available for their Yahoo account customers. Well, their business so they do what they want. But how come they came up with those awkward names "Flickr" and "Yahoo", puzzles me. OK, never mind, it's their business, so they do what they want.

This reminded me about my Kindle e-book reader adventure. It developed some sort of an extra information on its display. Simply looked faulty by displaying some watermark-like shapes against the text. I phoned the Amazon in and reported it only to find out later, that it was just some dust on the surface of the screen. Well..

Anyone would be interested in adopting this wide-angle manual puppy? Bought in December last year and didn't used it much to be honest, especially since acquiring the Limited HD 35/2.8, from when I stopped using this Samyang lens altogether.

Unmarked and perfect both cosmetically and optically, with 5 years warranty from UK Digital (ukdigital.co.uk), where the lens was bought for around £350 three months ago. Complete with box, all accessories and the receipt.

I am asking for £299 and would be happy to cover the cost of delivery.
