A good set Kris.

My take on them in order;

Monochromic birthlight
death,joyous
religion
death, sombre
Fading light, life chapter ending....

Initially I looked at the individual shots. Then a sequence emerged.

The Bigma 50-500mm may be a better bet if you can find one. For some reason, Sigma never seem to better their first offerings with some of their lenses. The 70-200mm f/2.8 is another example. The Mk1 has the edge. I have seen similar comments with the later x-500mm models stating minor issues. The HSM is a step forward though if the AF speed is improved.

Rogers pic's are great having good light. I couldn't live with F8 or less though in lower light.

I use 35mm film, APS-C and 135D (FF). As I would say, it's horses for courses. I wanted a FF so I bought one. I still use my Pentax kit more often than the Nikon kit mainly due to travelling and weight limitations. I do like both systems and find them similar to use. I like my 7D (Minolta got the name first, hard luck Canon). It uses the same sensor as my istD but the images are subtly different.

I have said my piece in the past here on previous posts about APS-C and FF, but I would say that until you use both side by side, the sensor size is the least relevant. Other aspects of the different systems are more apparent such as lens range availability, handling and overall performance.

There are shots I have missed here in Australia due to slow AF with the K7 and 50-135mm. I have had to use the 1.7AF to speed things up. I’m back in the UK in soon for a short visit and intend to bring the Nikon kit back with me as well as my trusted (PK fit) Sigma 70-200mm Mk1 along with its 1.4TC. The Bigma will also be coming back along with my tri & mono pods, Pod’s and 7D with the AF500mm reflex.
If, in the future, Pentax launch a FF body, great, I’ll buy one. If not, I haven’t lost out.

Think positive, not negative and don’t leave people feeling raw…

Regards.

They look fine to me. Are you looking to get a wider field of view?

A few taken with the 50-135mm and possibly the 16-50mm on a K7.

That was the first lens I bought for my D700 and did a day in York with it followed by a day at Whitby. I have nothing but praise for it. Not noticed any focus shift but an interesting article. I also have the Pentax 50 f/1.4 and also have nothing but praise for it.

Not a lot else one can say really.
