Hello and welcome from me too. I also like bugs, must do more macro this year!

Best wishes
David

Which type of legs does it have, the ones with the twist tightening or the quick release type?

I think there will be some landscape shooters salivating over the K-1. Also I think it will be great for low light shooting, e.g. concert/gig photography, but agree that a lower pixel count with the same size sensor would have been even better for this type of work. I guess this will follow in due course.

If it's on a date I can do then I will be up for it, I'll watch the forum for details.

It's definitely Neil (gtis) and Andrew Allport (AndrewA), I think the other reprobate is George Carman (carmagw).

Cheers

You might have seen a few images on the Forum from a meet we held in Sheffield 2 weeks ago, when we did a 'One Lens Challenge'. Here are my offerings from the day, all with the K-3 and DA50 F1.8.

New From Old. A blend of 3 images - one single exposure and a 2 image multi-exposure



A More Senior Citizen



Disturbing Graffiti



Decay and Decadence



Duty Cars Only



Kids and Bicycles (fellow Pentaxians in the blurred background)



Oriental in the Canal Basin



Some Faces



Still Within Motion



A Shadowy Figure (turn upside down if you can't work it out)



Thanks for looking!

Cheers
David

i'm not sure either, I find it a bit 'busy' with nowhere for the eye to settle. I can understand though why you wanted to include numerous poppies to give an impression of the scale of display, rather than concentrating on a single one.

Anyone who tries to claim a K-5iis is not inherently sharper than a K-5 needs their head examining.

It has no AA filter. AA filters create blur, there can be no disputing this.

End of story.

Great shot, I wonder if it runs?

They're all very nice George, but the crow is the clear stand-out, it's the only one with the background diffused enough to add rather than detract from the main subject.

The others are all beautifully sharp, but being hyper-critical (which I often am!), the backgrounds are not quite blurred enough to make the birds really leap out.

David
