I rotate 3 original Pentax batteries with my K3 II and some of these are dated 2005 and still going strong.

I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and we can all look forward to a bright New Year!

For anyone who doesn't celebrate Christmas, a Happy Holiday Break!

I'm looking forward to seeing the revamped PU in 2024.....

Almost all my review product shots are from my Pentax K-3 II with the 18-135mm lens. Stopped down to f/16 to ensure enough depth of field it does the job very well. It's as much about lighting as the camera.

You've done really well with those, great exposure, nice and sharp and good DOF. It can be quite tricky, but you've nailed it!

Why not start a new thread so we can see some Pentax 645 images?

There's something beautiful and awe-inspiring about astrophotography.

The simple answer is that nobody found anything sensible that they felt motivated to say. Perhaps everybody enjoyed the image and felt it spoke for itself without unecessary comments?

Did you want a critique of the image?

Lovely shots. It's extraordinary how beautiful the windows are in a relatively bland setting.

Just a mention for the monthly competition, which is for new images that are shot within the month of the competition.

Sadly, only one of the three current entries has been shot in November 2023. I've left the other two there for now, but soon they will have to be removed, which will at least give the photographers time to try again.

Pictures for the weekly can be any age, but the purpose of the monthly is to encourage new images.

Hope that helps!

It's a good lens and I used one for quite a while on the Pentax ME Super and MX. If in doubt, perhaps a return is the way forward?
