Now .. what to do with it
I think it should fit on the underneath of one of those cameras called a Pentax 7 (don't quote me on it though)

Thanks again Andrew and Gwyn.

Am I alone in thinking YEUCH ?

Black - yes , silver - that's OK too - but the rest ??

They just attract attention and that's just not me .
Not for me either but I'm sure this is contributing (in no small way) to the success of the K-x and Pentax need to strike while the iron is hot.
Definitely a good move for Pentax.

Does anybody use/have an FA 20 f/2.8 on a digital body?
Just wondering what your impressions are. I've read the Photozone review (naturally) and it seems to be a nice if not spectacular wide angle prime.

Sensory challenged?

Thanks for your kind comments Andrew and Gwyn,

I agree the foreground is a bit empty in number 1. Bit shame about the bramble too (left) but I guess that's nature for you
Here it is with some cropping applied.

Nice to see a bit of blue sky in your image Andrew

at least your camera was weather proof.

number 3 for me but I would do a bit of sat work on it

Thanks for your comments James, luckily my DA* 16-50 is weather proof as well, otherwise my kit would have stayed firmly under lock and key

Here's another take on the track and field opening scene. Must admit I'm always a bit hesitant to push saturation too much mainly because I like to see the scene as I remembered it. This ones using the cross blue filter in CaptureOne.

[quote:3496ace15f="Anvh"]Some say the Oly E3 and their latest SWM lenses is a fast combo.
Very much so, one of the quickest I believe.
In fact even the using an E-510 body my 12-60 and 50-200 SWD lenses were much faster (and very accurate with it) than the comparably specified 16-50 & 60-250 SDM. There again Oly (like Canon) use high torque ring motors rather than the geared micromotors that Pentax has opted for.

Amazing, both the photograph and subject distance, so how did you do it?
