Another lens I love, but, dare I say it, not that useful for landscapes per se.

I'm in the water with my tripod to take this, and wished I could have gone in further:

I could almost touch the closest stone when taking this:

Hmmm. Now I'm pissed off.

Taken tonight with my 2 day old K-5. Shot 1 is in dim light, shot 2 in very dim light, using a dimmer switch. The Pentax box is 5 feet from the camera.

Both taken with an F50 at f/1.7. I forced the camera to refocus between shots, hence the tripod moved slightly. Both taken with a remote and 3 second delay.

I must confess that I don't take 'the other channel' very seriously.

One of my few contributions there led to a certain amount of bewilderment:

Me too; I love this lens, especially at f/1.4.

Please tell me the K-5 is a good camera!
What have you read that has caused you to panic over the camera.

It won't focus indoors, it won't focus outdoors, it won't work with flash, it's not full frame, Pentax is going bust, the sky is falling, it'll rob my Grandma, and there are live slugs inside the sensor. To name a few.

Of course not. Imagine a giant tongue in cheek watermark under my OP.

This arrived today in good order and well packaged. Many thanks to Unlocker link for an easy hassle free buy.

Unfortunately, I bought a K-5 yesterday, so you may be seeing this for sale again very soon.

Being impulsive can be a pain in the posterior sometimes.
