I have made a new EPZ blog of this morning's Fisheye Fun, and here are some of the images:

Those are a slightly different selection from those in the blog. So far, I've been pleased with the way the lens works and I think it will have its uses. So far so good!

If you read the Terms of Use, plus the explanatory notes at the top of some forums, then most questions should be clarified.

Anything else, just drop us a PM and we'll answer specific queries.

It's mostly a question of common sense.

I think it's more likely that the camera was moving slightly as the shots were made. A back and forwards movement of only a tiny amount would be enough to change the point of focus after focus was locked.

A tripod is really essential in any kind of lens test, even a simple one.

No they can't. Adapters may exist, but are very unlikely to be convenient. SRB Griturn are the people who would definitively know.

I think you've missed the original point David, which is to make people aware of the new guidelines from the CAA.

The information comes from them, so I hope that we would all take it to heart when flying. Casually disregarding the requirements is potentially dangerous, apart from possibly being prosecuted for doing so.

If I were sat on a plane I'd be happier knowing that my fellow passengers weren't flouting the rules on batteries or smoking or any of the other things that have potential dangers.

That is totally unhelpful.

Mist is always good. It looks like a great event and you've brought home some impressive images.

I am now asking myself whether upgrading the Kr to a K5IIs would significantly increase my chances of getting this right - any advice/ opinions most welcome.
Given that you already have a K-5, then coupling a K-5 IIs to that would be very logical. There's no learning curve involved and the AF is a bit snappier, especially in very low light.

As regards lenses, then trying what you have with the new body would be a good first step, after which a second evaluation of where you stand with lenses could be made.

There is plenty of time to make sure there are no glitches with the new body and any new lenses that you might go for.
