You are right - I gave up waiting for that years ago

I think you'll find the new Pentax to be a medium format camera, there are no Pentax DSLRs for the foreseeable future, not the ones were are after anyway.
Yes there is, and it sounds to be a goody too. More and more of those in the know are dropping hints about it. Someone I know "in the trade" can't divulge much but he is excited by it.
Well I wish these people would stop dropping hints and come up with some hard facts

Also, something announced in May needs to appear a few weeks later, not in 2011

Ralf, yes there are just two circular coronas.

What appears to be a third strangely shaped corona in the middle is a reflection of the outer headlight corona with the strange shape caused by the unusual shape of the headlight reflector.

If you have a close look at the headlights on a recent BMW 1 series (2008 on) fitted with xenon, adaptive, corona headlights, you will see what I mean

Very nice images - I just wonder whether a focal length of 13mm or maybe 15mm might have been better
Lol, that's why I decided to replace this particular 14mm lens with a 12-24, sometimes I just prefer the versatility to a prime!

Looks like you're going to get good use out of it Bob, hope it's ok!
Yes, all good thanks. The grass is always greener as they say but I don't regret trading the 12-24 for the 14. These are not the kind of shots I wanted the 14 for, I'd been frustrated by the close-focus ability of the 12-24 on a number of occasions when I wanted to capture something up close whilst giving the background some perspective distortion. When I come across a suitable opportunity I'll post it up to illustrate what I mean.

I've settled on primes to try & instill some discipline into my photography. I usually have little patience, but with photography I seem to have it in abundance. So the extra time swapping lenses & getting my position sorted isn't an issue for me. Of course I may well miss a few "kodak moments" this way but c'est la vie !
Good to see these lenses being recycled to grateful new owners

Hyram: Corona Reflections

.................................then it's off to the strangely shaped contraption (indicator?) to the left of the middle.

In keeping with the theme, it is a reflection of the outer headlight

A disappointing result for me, but congratulations to Dr. Mhuni and I am glad that you liked my entry.

As well as having pleasing colours, the whole point of my entry was the huge number of reflections and indeed reflections of reflections that exist in the image.

I keep finding new ones to look at.

Thanks to Prieni for the competition and for ignoring his lecture to produce the results so promptly
