Thanks for that. I'll try it next time.

I didn't know this.

I also have a DA 40mm f2.8 which is supposedly also OK for FF, but again its not splash proof

But with all the D and DA lenses there are lots of rumors and I can not find any concrete information, which of the digital lenses are suitable for FF.

I think it is quite a useful little camera. I am defiantly thinking of in the very near future ( My birthday is in February) of buying one.
Admittedly the LED's are not needed and a flip up screen would be handy.

The non-water proving doesn't worry me at all. I like to go out after the rain. If I am caught in the rain, I shove it under my coat or jumper.
I would say, it makes a great addition when weight and space are important. I also like the Optical viewfinder.

I own a K5 and the only water or splash proof lens is the Kit lens which came with it. My other lenses including the LTD's are not waterproof at all , so to me it makes no difference.

I am not going to buy new APS-C lenses only. And none of the FF- lenses are splash proof anyway.

I do have the 77 f1.8 and the 31 f1.8.

I personally prefer the 77 for portrait and landscape shots. I am not to keen on landscapes with wide angles.

I think the 77 is so fantastic. It is really wasted on an APS-C sensor.

I haven't been on this forum for a while and it seems there is no possibility anymore to add pictures.

Else I would have attached a couple taken with the 77.

By the way they are not that expensive here in Australia. I bought the 77 for $AU 799.- Approx 300 GBP new and the 31 f1.8 for $AU 1099. Approx 400 GBP , also new.

I anyone can enlighten me , how to attach pictures to the posts, it would be appreciated.

Thanks for all your useful comments.

I will do as you all have suggested.

Thank you both for your comments.

Ny camera is a K5.

I like to take some B&W pictures, but I can not find any way of doing this.
I had a look in the digital filter settings under "Extract colour", but I can not disable the brown colour in the No1 setting. The No2 setting has an off position, but not the No1.

I don't really like to do this in Photoshop. I like to go out and take a whole sequence in B&W and not have to fiddle around after.

Anybody knows how?

And after enough beer the bokey improves, no matter what lens you use.

Thanks for the link.

I think all images could have done with more dof.

The way they are, the background just looks like a mess and actually distracts more from the statue than if it was somewhat cleaner.

The first f2.8 image is the best of a bad lot.

But as you said, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I never said it was very shallow dof. I tried to show, that in my opinion, it doesn't do any harm to have a bit of shallow background.
Of course in the end, it is a matter of taste
