A lovely and varied set Simon. The last one of the Ducklings is just superb!

Yes, very true, but it's more critical on some than others. Some fairly ordinary lenses could probably out-resolve the early digital sensors, but this is not so with the K-3.

Great stuff Jon, you are making that K-3 sing! It really is a superb camera and you are never in danger of not doing it justice.

Very good shot, not typical of model shoots, which is a positive. I agree with both John's and Smeggy's comments.

I didn't say it was the fault of the Metz, I said it was a waste of time with a K-5! I don't think I was wrong. The K-5 is poor with P-TTL flashes.

These are tremendously good, great focussing on the eyes makes them come to life

Hi Roger

I'm a massive fan of both the DFA 100mm macro and the DA*50-135, they both have a magical way of rendering images. Having said that, I'm also a fan of the Sigma 105 macro and only sold it because I couldn't justify owning two macro lenses of similar focal length. I think the K-3 also has a significant effect on the images, it really is a superb camera and is leaving my K-5IIs in the shade at the moment. The K-3 does seem to add a sort of 'gloss' to images and produces more accurate colours than the K-5IIs does. I have had to adjust the red hue though to make it accurate to the actual colour of these flowers; all Pentax cameras seem to add a magenta tint to reds.

David

These are really great again Alistair.

Great stuff Alistair, that lens is certainly working well with both you and your camera! I like them all, but the first and last in particular catch my eye.

I've had my K-3 for a few months now and I'm starting to get to grips with it. I took advantage of the lovely weather today to go out into the garden and capture some images of the gorgeous orange-red tulips we have growing in one of the borders. I'm finding that the K-3 is a magnificent camera for taking photos of flowers and for macro work, in fact the K-5IIs is hardly getting a look in of late. I hope you like these images, please pass comment, whether you like them or not!
