Yes t'was me
I wouldn't classify my WR as bad but I know it's not as sharp as my daughter's 18-55 Mk II. There isn't a huge difference but it's there.

Put this way I haven't been disappointed with the images from my 18-55 WR but it's more a case of being impressed with the sharpness from my daughter's lens. Sorry for the ramble

Try this Uncle Jack directly on U tube.

Or here to photography bay.

Excellent amusing short film, just goes to show what can be done with the K-7.
Thanks for the tip Albert

Just a quick heads up that Helicon Filter v4.93.2 is now being offered for free with the imminent arrival of v5 which also can be currently download as a beta.
Worth a try, I certainly find it a nice little Photo Editing package.

Something about the taps I like in both groups.
Interesting to the see the 1.7x TC working well with the 50-135.
Do you have the 60-250 and have you tried the x1.7 with it?

I like the close up shots 1 and 2 Peter, very nice.
Heartening to see some milder weather captured when it's hovering close to freezing here

Not bad at all. As you say definitely potential there. Have you tried any tripod mounted shots with mirror lock up?

I think it's got to be the black and white for me Tim. The contrast and lighting brings out the structure of the building nicely.
What's the rectangular shadow/dark area at bottom right hand side of the building?

Certainly amusing, you can imagine all the double takes as people drive past

Welcome back Graham,

Enjoy your new K-7 when it arrives.

The latest Pentax primes compare very well with other manufacturer's offerings. I have a couple of FA primes (28 and 50) and the 35 Ltd.

If you are looking for a wide angle zoom I'm sure the DA 12-24 would be your first port of call. A very highly respected lens. I don't own one but many on the forum do and I'm sure they will chip in with comments

Might be worth clarifying the exact lens they're selling too, as the narrative talks about the 16-45mm...
Good point although the price does seem to suggest a DA* 16-50 f/2.8
