i like it Gareth , critique , try 16 by 8 for frame and balance
Im not trained so it might not work

You said it 67comet * Viva las Pentax*

it is an awful situation that ordinary people are facing
Putoon is finished no matter what course or path he walks after this.
The senior officials in Russia are not blind (i would think and hope)
This theatre we are witnessing , albeit a crazy one (WEF globalists have a lot to answer for creating this reaction) probably has an end ,That hopefully is not the destruction of what is Europe.
My hopes and prayers are with the innocent people caught up in all this, even though this could possibly spread further West by the reactions recently

everything said as above and more
Absolute great capture of light, WD

Yep agree with above ,the holly is special light

Its not about America, its about NATO and the infringement that Russia is calling out.
Im not political but Biden stoken up fear in the states is only for votes and excr
hopefully it will pass with all sides winning without war

Hi Petephoto, an issue that has been done to death regarding the 16* 50 but i feel your frustration
I also bought this lens brand new for my k70 after a lot of research from SRS in February 2019 for 499 sterling on the sale at the time.
i was happy with the performance and loved the colour rendition and it behaved flawlessly until a couple of months before warranty expired .
i was under the impression that the issue with the solenoid was addressed in later models
I've tried the lens recently on my k1ii to see would it wake it up and it didn't and I've tried all the usual tricks that were advised on various forums
FWIW my other sdm lenses have no issues eg , my 50*135 is an old secondhand and performs perfectly

Thank you for that Martin, and sorry for interrupting Stub

agree with comments above
no 14 is art and the self portrait is very good as the elements are all recognisable but has one pondering as to what.

That car has a (tweaked) look about itself also
