A good set of images. I never rated the Sigma 150.

A great image. As Alan says, the K10D is better than a K20 or K7. It has a CCD. I also still have mine.

All comments appreciated. Just one correction to make, the 03 Fish Eye is not a TOY lens. The TOY lenses are engraved as TOY.

Some great images there. The 43mm is a good lens. I'm very impressed with the DP 1x image as well!

Best regards

Good stuff.

Went out at lunchtime today to see how this wee lens performs. A couple of things to point out:

1) Being manual focus only, it is not as easy as the zooms or fixed 8.5mm to focus, even with FP active.

2) Remember to keep your fingers out of the way. I have left the shots with my finger in to prove the point.




























Just needs some extra attention when using this lens. It has lots of potential which is why after seeing Alan's shots I committed to buy.

There's a GBP60 difference between the II & IIs at B&H. The IIs is GBP698 and the instant rebate offer ends at end of June so maybe something new....a filter-less, mirror-less K5 III or K3 Mk I?

A good point is made here.

Also what needs to be realised is that although Gary has spent more money on kit that his client recognises as "better", I would feel sure that he was offered no more monies as a result of that. Hopefully he was?

I get to work alongside quite a few full time photographers over here and have covered several weddings, 99% of which are shot with Canon FF kit. You have to be really bad WRT image sharpness before a customer comments negatively.

The clients are not photographers and the process of providing well exposed, framed and presented images ranks far higher than absolute sharpness.

By all means, jump on board with new models for whatever reasons matter to you. In Gary's case, the low light AF was paramount.

As for low light, indoor, no flash shots, that capacity was filled several years ago by the big two along with fast glass. Pentax are slowly catching up which is never a bad thing. I still look forward to their real challenge to the rest of the industry as and when and if it appears.

Now that's one classy looking piece of kit. No wonder you are happy.

I am currently using a Manfrotto 488RC2 with a 645N II with no issues.

The tripod is a SLIK 813CF and has served me well since 2004.
