One little trick i do like when using manual mode with a modern lens is once i have set the exposure i wish, if you press the exposure lock button you can turn either front or back e-dial to change Tv or Av setting and the camera will adjust the other to keep the exposure the same. This is useful for shooting the same scene a number of times with different DOF for example.
I understand how that works. But why not shoot in tav or av then. Why shoot in manual but switch to tav or av halfway through ?One little trick i do like when using manual mode with a modern lens is once i have set the exposure i wish, if you press the exposure lock button you can turn either front or back e-dial to change Tv or Av setting and the camera will adjust the other to keep the exposure the same.

I shoot in manual as i like to choose iso, shutter speed and aperture myself. No other reason.
I can see how the last point around dof and multiple shots at different apertures with same exposure would be far easier your way.

Im afraid to look at it.
Had the k 35mm f3.5 too. Another savage lens. Sharp as a tack wide open.

That's a really sweet shot. Well framed too.
There's something special about the k and m series lenses. You can feel the quality of them. So smooth to use.
I have never used the green button. Is there any point when shooting in manual ?

Nice set, and a great example of flash put to great use.

I have had the M 28mm, cracking lens. F 28mm, and now a Petri 28mm f2. The petri is one sharp lens. Well worth trying if you see one.
