I don't disagree.
We, as photographers do tend to see the technicalities involved whereas non-photographers never question an image technically. In my case I am totally clueless when looking at oil paintings. I don’t have a clue as to what is good, bad or just rubbish from an artistic or technical point of view.

There's one image in this link Andrew that illustrates the Highest Standard of Living message.

Sometimes we hear the phrase "at this time of year we should think of others". I ask why only at this time of year?

I see poverty everywhere I travel.

For me, it shows just how bad a modern world can be and often is to those that have a constant struggle with just surviving.

This link shows very well the conditions that exist amongst a people that are often regarded as having the highest standards of living in the world (if you believe the normal press).

I would be very proud to produce images as good as those on the link.....

A really fine set. Good processing and even better composition.

Hello,

The 77mm f/1.8 lens does have AF and manual focus. The focussing speed is generally quick. You state that you want to shoot indoors. That changes the usefulness of this lens as it may tend to be too long on a cropped sensor for indoor shots. The 50mm f/1.4 may be a step in the right direction. The wider/faster the better for indoor shots unless the light is plentiful.

AF speed will also be light dependant.

Best regards

Good work and good exposure for you!

Any example of this lens that is fine optically is a "must own" optic as far as Pentax is concerned. If this had ever been made by Pentax it would be a 2K lens today due to its rarity and superb optical performance.

Excellent mood in this shot. The eyes are drawn up into the image along the lines.

One taken tonight. K3+16-50mm.
