Haven't done much video but would like to do more - thanks for the above tips and a couple of questions -
What software do you guys use for post production?
How does altering shutter speed affect things?
Thanks
Jez

I think it probably was a bad copy because most of us find ours to be pretty sharp - I use my early F4.5-5.6 version indoors, pretty much wide open, when going around big NT houses and find it works well there most of the time too.

I'm sure that my copy was just a poor one as I've seen many great shots taken by others with this lens and many owners do sing it's praises - I have been tempted to get another copy but it did put me off.

The 18-135 is a very useful excellent lens but I find I prefer my 16-45 for landscapes (for wide angle landscapes that is) as I find the extra couple of mm on the wide end makes quite a difference.

I think it's good that Pentax have the bottle to bring out something a bit different - sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't - but at least they give it a go. I'd go for something like the Lime Pie one if I was going to buy one - would get people talking!

Every body seems to want cameras to be dull, boring and black!

Great stuff Bill. I've been thinking about getting a conversion done for quite some time. Like you I've seen the K01's in the States and also K-x's in Aus.

I bought a converted Canon compact to give it a try. However, it only takes half a dozen shots on a set of AAs. So don't use it much. Here's a couple of attempts, with the same shot I think

That first shot looks fantastic Alan - a proper 'Winter Wonderland' !

Excellent shots Peter, well done getting them in the local Advertiser too.
And like already mentioned it's great to see an older model Pentex doing so well especially given the light conditions!

Pentax will bring out a full frame camera. What we need is something like a slightly larger K3 with 24MP full frame sensor around the same price as the Nikon D610. If they do that they will clean up (vacuum cleaner or not)!

I have something similar on an old(ish) pair of binoculars - I assumed it was the lens coating breaking down - again this does not seem to affect the viewing quality.

Excellent shot!
