The days of two fridges for us were back in the Middle East. A second fridge now would generate the need to buy excess cheap, quality ale from Lidl or Aldi and suffer the effects of said purchases....

Cost of another fridge equates to serious amounts of film or beer.....

I've a few more boxes of film to store and will have to lower levels of non essentials in the fridge like cheese, yoghurt, salad etc.

Mrs K10D may have a say on that though.....

Depends on the application. For true IR and NIR applications, CCD's outperform CMOS.

Really good work and skilfully photographed.

Another 5 rolls of Portra 160ASA 120 roll film in the fridge. Stocking up for some heavy film usage in 2018. Dilemma! Less room for beer.

Well done Stan. A good image, it speaks for itself.

Well deserved.

Mr Wennington (Blythman) uses the 24-70mm on his K-1 and as Mike has shown, it's a workhorse optic. If I didn't already have a 24-70mm, I'd jump straight in.

The above images show the potential of the 15-30mm.

I've been using a FF 14-24mm since 2009 and it has proved invaluable when the subject matter required the use of such a wide FOV. I did several indoor shoots for customers to produce brochures for holiday homes and rental properties. Although I have a Pentax FF 15mm, the FF Pentax digital body was still in the planning stages and on APS-C it's crippled. At the time, I did not have a 10-20mm Sigma.

The FOV offered basically made the job easy and the results were excellent. I've not used it much for landscape photography and it's a beast, weight wise. That said, I would not be without it, especially when the need arises.

Once the initial euphoria of it's output wears off, you need a reason to keep using it such as landscape or architecture.

It's the only reason I won't be buying the Pentax 15-30mm.

Had my 70-200mm f/2.8 Sigster since 2004. Screw focus works fine. It's been used on all of my Pentax bodies without issue. Super sharp and good with the TC. Never seen the need to upgrade.
