I'm going through some pics I took recently, seeing as I haven't had chance to get out lately.
Here's one taken at New Brighton beach. I was hoping for an even more colourful sunset as it was during the last eruption of that un-pronouncable volcano in Iceland.

C&C welcome, as always

Firstly, I love number one. But, there are a couple of leaf tips which look in focus even the the buds in between aren't. Is this DoF or a PP thing? I can't say why, but they distract me.

Secondly..what do you mean by IQ?
Surely it's not an intelligent camera?

Thanks Matt.
I think I'll leave it as Pentax designed it.

Hmmm. I've been thinking of going down this route for my istDL, but I really can't afford the Katzeye version.

What are the pitfalls for installing one of these myself? Can I go wrong and how much damage can I expect if I do.
Does it badly affect image through the viewfinder? I've read it can darken the image. Can it also affect auto focus?

I use Av most of the time, Manual for almost all other times, but Tv (when I remember) when shooting rally cars.
Auto if the kids are being funny and I just want to grab the shot.

It'll be cloudy every night now

Super! Look forward to seeing the pics

Hi

Hi Nic.

Well, my tube thingy certainly holds the weight of my *istDL

It is aluminium with a decent M42 thread.

I wondered how long before someone spotted the dirt!
I wasn't going to add that one, but decided I might as well.

Yes, my scope will track, allowing for longer exposure, but that isn't needed for the moon.

I agree number 3 isn't wonderfully sharp, but I thought the first two were OK. What can you see that I missed?

I tried leaving my camera set to manual, hoping the hexagon would come on when it was focussed, but it didn't come on at all. Is there another setting I need to tweak? It works when I use my old manual lenses.
