The street shots are great as always, but you are also a talented landscape and wildlife photographer so I would echo Alan as I would also like to see more of this type of work from you.

There's no denying the quality of this set as a whole, funnily enough number 11 stands out for me as it appeals to my quirky side!

September, November and all of the dog pics for me! Lovely set, high standard throughtout.

Hi Christopher, yes, I'd seen that survey before and although not huge numbers it bears out what the majority say on here about the SDM lenses, particularly the three highlighted as the least reliable in the survey. What's also interesting is that these survey numbers are approaching the 'crisis levels' John has quoted for VHS recorder failures. Now that's an eye-opener, if some SDM lenses approach the unreliability levels of VHS video recorders when they first came out, then indeed there is something to worry about and something that Pentax should have come clean about a long time ago.

.....here are a just a few from last year, taken on two consecutive days and within a few hours in Mykonos Town or Rhodes Town. There's a theme to these, i.e. colour, shape and texture. I recoil from doing the normal holiday photos, even though my wife wants nice pics of where we go, but I just can't help myself and find that I revert to type. Anyway, hope they are a nice contrast to the 2017 sets posted recently.

Sorry John, but I think you are sticking your head in the sand and not being realistic. The SDM problems are not just on early samples, they affect all SDM's, particularly on 16-50 and 50-135 lenses, right up to the present day. This is obvious by the number of reports of second or third failures after motors have been replaced with 'updated' ones.

The users on here are not stupid, we make our own minds up about these things. It's a shame because in other regards these lenses are superb and for me it's worth taking the risk. My 50-135 is on its way out, after having been repaired once with the 'updated' motor that supposedly fixed the issue.........

I think I speak with the majority of view on this subject?

As per comments on Nigel's and David's sets, just stunning images and no favourites, I love all of them.

Just magnificent! Again, I'm not going to pick a favourite, but I will mention a couple that I really like, namely the wine bottles shot and the van man! The imagination and creativity on show here is inspiring.

A fabulous set David, I always enjoy viewing your images, not only are they technically excellent, but there's always something interesting to see and some great compositions courtesy of your superb eye for an image. Not going to pick a favourite, they are all top notch.

Superb Derek, I would take off my hat if I were wearing one!

No problems for me on Flickr, I don't upload very often, but when I do it works flawlessly.
