By the time we've covered our images in logos and watermarks, it ruins the images. This is self defeating IMHO. If we don't want our photos stealing, then don't show them to anybody. And what would be the point of that?

I think the OP is probably intending to sell prints and I don't think logos on the front would prove popular.

If people will buy them, why not? It will only cost a very small amount in listing fees to find out, so I would go for it.

I never have sold my own images on eBay, but I guess people will do.

Wide open, the 24mm f/2.8 is relatively soft, especially at the corners. Stopped down, it is razor sharp. This is a common characteristic of lenses of this design, and it's a fault or a benefit, depending on your point of view.

Some might argue that we only use ultra-wides stopped down, for example in landscapes with the maximum depth of field. We might also argue that when used wide open, a sharp centre with slightly softer corners might be a very pleasant effect for closer subjects. Or not, as the case may be.

There is no perfect lens, it depends on what we can make with it as a creative tool. As a 24mm f/2.8 the Pentax K lens is a very attractive lens to me, I enjoyed mine very much.

So it's that wide angle that you need most urgently, and Lennybloke's 24mm looks absolutely ideal.

I used one of these lenses for a long time, and it's an excellent performer.

You have a blank canvas on lenses, which is a brilliant place to be. So much to discover!

All the Pentax bayonet lenses will be fine, there are differences in characteristics, and we all have our favourites, but it may be a bit too much detail at this point.

For a good basic kit, i eventually settled on 24mm, 50mm and 100mm lenses, but it depends on your photographic tastes. It might be a good starting point though. The primes are probably better than the zooms at this stage of development, although the M series 24-35mm is actually very impressive.

You might consider replacing the 50mm f/2, which was a budget lens, with an f/1.8, f/1.7 or f/1.4 version.

It's a nice template, the only problem I see is that a lot of other websites look exactly the same. This might not matter unless you want to have a wider audience. The idea of galleries I prefer to slide shows. Nobody has the patience to sit through a slide show, but for those who might then perhaps indicating how many images there are or how long it will take would encourage more to commit to looking?

Your photography looks very good, so well worth looking at. Good luck with the project, hope the comments are helpful and not too harsh!

The simplest way to share images between family and friends is perhaps Facebook? You can adjust the privacy settings to suit.

I'll look forward to having a look at your website a little later, can't just at this minute.

Don't forget this is a full frame lens.

The interesting thing about that is that some of us must be storing their cameras without lenses, something I never do. Hence my need for a body cap is zero, but it's good to know that alternatives exist for those who do need them.
