"Probably the best match in the World" for such a lens, the 16 MP anti alias filter removed K5iis that is , combined with the DA*16 50
It is not too shabby on my k70 either Lenny but I did bid for a K5iis on eBay that looked genuinely mint before I finally purchased the K70 new , but i was gazumped when I was at £320 at the last minutes of no reserve. It really is the only K5 to have, is what I was thinking at the time
Don't blame you for holding onto a rarer classic than one might imagine

I love my older DA*16 dash 50m SDM, despite all the unpopular calls by the majority.
Learn and fall in love with the wondrous rendition that it has in spades, depending of course on ones copy.

Agree with Kevin B that Veil Nebula is fantastic Spad

A word of caution!
Be very wary of the LennyBloke, he's a lenses dealer and has been known to hang around outside camera clubs pushing his stuff.
He says things likes " come on man, I show you a good lens, the best of lens, you know you need it man"
Surfs the inter web also, seeking out the unsure, the undecided lens addicts, asking themselves "will I, won't I buy this?"
A few sweet words from this LennyBloke and you know you're hooked

I feel for your disgruntlement walkeja but
Zero feedback or comments about ones own photos (my own not so good efforts for instance) never bothered me personally.
Although you make a valid point , regarding this site and some of its members.

I only recently was first to comment on a set of photographs which I enjoyed, by someone on a walk.
While that person thanked everyone else for they're comments that followed, my comments were ignored without a response.
Blind perhaps but I would beg to differ.

They're are also other members on this site who display they're images and never comment or respond to anyone but love themselves that much, tooo much

I couldn't be arsed with that lot either.

However having said all of the above, I still like this site, especially the Gallery, plenty of decent skins that outnumber.

Love your last sentence JohnRiley and it sums it up perfectly.
I left responding for awhile, as was hoping that a few others would comment, but alas

Lovely walk Jvs and rewarded handsomely with some fine Photography. Viewed large.
Great contrasts between skies and hillsides and deep saturated colours between the changeable light
All are wonderful and Its between no 4,5 and 9 being my favourites

Resurrecting the thread LennyBloke
I saw a youtube vid about a software plug in named, Boris FX Optics.
It had loads of textured backgrounds and so on
But more importantly,It also contained loads of film overlays in which one can preview and choose from.
Looked very impressive.
