Uploaded to Lr. Slightly warmer WB than daylight, lightened it up a bit, raised shadows, clipped highlights, removed noise. Went into ColorEfexPro 4, enhanced detail, added neutral grad to darken top and lighten bottom. Back into Lr to remove the extra noise due to excessive pp!!

Many Thanks folks!
Thank you, Gareth. I'll get my chance to try the K3 out when I get my hands on it on Monday/Tuesday.

Best of luck with your new system.

You just have to get used to how to use the x1.7 on the DA*300. It works very well once you know the trick.

Just manually focus to just the far side of the subject, then use autofocus to do the rest. Works very fast that way. If you are focused in front of the subject then the combo will hunt like hell, coming closer before going out past the subject and then coming back. So it's just a case of doing the simple step first and bob's your uncle.

I never liked my 17-70 either. I tried comparing it to the K28/3.5 and the K55/1.8 and it didn't come out very well. Besides the fact that it cost more than twice what I paid for those 2 lenses.

But then people are different.

That already happened.
And it's nothing like a mini-Facebook, to quote a previous post.

You are going to have some fun when the Nikkor arrives, David. As long as you have the adapter rings.
