Those are very nice indeed.

How much benefit do you get from using these 'oversized' lenses on (say) a K1? I presume it is manual only?

I saw the 2nd one on Pentax Forum as I was having my breakfast. It was not with others as shown here but isolated and alone and I cursed my account (that I can't access for some reason) because I wanted to applaud it. It is a gorgeous bit of composition taken at just the right time. I'm so pleased to be able to praise it !

I can't print my (audible) reaction. The first word is not allowed and begins with F and the second was "Nora !"
The specialized cooled camera clearly isn't a Pentax (?) but we can let you off that!

Harris got it right ..... "Terrifying" ..... Just what is our relationship to that?

I love the first one with those low clouds that seem to want to fall on top of you - and it isn't anywhere near summer yet!

These will need to be collated at year's end so it can all be seen in context. It's a great idea you are chasing.

Looks like those attending were well up for it - including Sue. Nice set that captures the intended era.

I like them generally! - particularly 1 and 3. They bring to mind a silly bit of prose ....

Old Joe Arkwright took fifteen years to build t' mill
an' when t' work were completed he went inside
an' he fell on his knees and he gi' thanks t' God ..........

An' the 'ole bloody lot fell on top ov him!

No idea who created it but they had a wicked sense of humour!

And another vote for #2. Every year I say I will get up at the crack of dawn ......... (duh!) I don't even function then!

They certainly do not have that stark, brightly coloured finish of the other set. These are much more realistic. But I must say that I rarely ever use RAW. I just never overwrite the original JPGs and always save the edited version 'as' (name). I have never discovered any advantage in them - although there is never a shortage of people who praise them most highly. They take an eternity to write to disc and are absolutely huge memory-hogging files. Perhaps, if I wanted something to fill a billboard? When do we amateurs need that?
