Cheers Don, now we know how to shoot properly!

Best regards

Congratulations David. Well done. It looks like Pentax take wins across the globe as a PU member took a Gold and Silver award this month using a K7.

Another good image from you Don but no EXIF? What lens and aperture......

What would one do if they did not have the skills needed in Photoshop or other software?

It's an option other marques offer their users that we Pentax users don't have with the current Pentax system.

I have the 28mm shift Pentax. It just sits on the shelf unless I use it with a film body.

There's two local Canon users with Ltd's in their bags. Not quite a saw job though Mike, the rear of the lens is opened and the lever is removed to allow future reversal. They are VERY impressed with the 31mm Ltd on 135.

Forget Nikon Algi, the hot kit at the moment for me is my X100 Ltd.

What next? Well very possibly a 5D Mk3 with an adapter to fit 31mm and 77mm Ltd's.

It's not about proving measured values wrong. The results are the product of testing with specialist equipment. It's more about the final image and the image quality perceived.

I can take most lenses in my collection and specifically shoot an ideal subject and get the best from the lens and that is what it is all about. Knowing your glass well enough to use it at it's best.

At the time I bought the 21mm, it was a gift for some one. I was impressed enough to buy another. Have I been disappointed with it - not in any way. It's a cracking street optic with a FOV of a 31mm. Would I like it faster - no as I have other faster glass to shoot in the dark, something a rarely do.

As a user of the Pentax brand owning multiple bodies and a large range of Pentax lenses including two in the DXO test, I fail to see it as a dig. For sure, Pentax fan boys won't like the results from DXO unless it the one about the K5 sensor where it was the best print on a web page.

I am, as I said, happy with my 21mm and 70mm yet you don't seem to accept others point of view or findings.

We could introduce a forum rule where nothing negative about Pentax can be mentioned or posted and you can be in charge of retribution to the unfaithful or those wandering from the chosen path.

I keep an open mind Algi and use whatever equipment I see fit for purpose and hence use more than two systems. There is no harm in discussing any points or reviews of Pentax equipment. If one is a sole Pentax user who is also blinkered and deaf then so be it. Long live the fan boys. Where would the photographic community be without them.

Your a bit of a dark horse Don. Good images of an alien life form.

Picked up on these tests by DXO on the 15mm, 21mm, 70mm & 40mm lenses.

I have the 21mm and 70mm lenses and am more than happy with them.
