I bought the lens for the same reason I bought a K7 without ever seeing or holding one....blind faith.
They seem to be scarce and that to me means collectable.
I only have the A 50mm macro and that seems very good so I took a chance.

I've still got 1989 Reebocks that fit!!!
I'm the last one to go and buy new shoes or clothes. I look at a price label and instantly convert it to a photographic item and go buy that instead.
Another good shot by the way

Cracking dragon fly. Errr as far as the trainer go...
Maybe you should have said, down at the beach with my mate and this landed on HIS shoe....
Wonder what the dragonfly thought it was landing on? Are they attracted to images or odours?

Ahem, I have launched an R/C glider from Blakey Ridge to comments of "wow, smooth circuit". I didn't mention that just after I let go, I realised that the receiver was switched off! Fortunately it landed close by, undamaged.Oggy wrote:

If I were to say to him "SMART" I would guess he would know what I am talking about. Basically these are a series of pre take-off checks that I run through. The first letter of each is added to the mnemonic to make an aide memoir, so Switch, Meter, Aerial, Rates, Trims becomes "SMART".
It goes through my mind that some sort of aide memoir like this might work when taking a photo, or am I the only one who occasionally gets back home to find that all the pictures I have taken have a strange colour cast because I have forgotten to set the WB for example?
Good idea, If it works for you then why not use it?, I still remember my Glider pre-flight checks from 1974!-CB SIT CB. Controls, Ballast, Straps, Instruments, Trim, Cable and Brakes. Though i have forgotten my powered Aircraft Pre flight checks from 1975!I think I have said elsewhere that another of my hobbies is flying radio controlled model aircraft. I believe K10 does as well.

I tend to set my camera before I leave the house. The only things I adjust in the field are aperture and exp comp. Normally shoot at largest jpg setting and may, very rarely adjust metering. I hate desk time, so the better the jpg, the happier I am.

You may well have the cheapest cameras now. I paid JUST over that from B&H when they launched. My K10 may be going very soon as I fancy a second K7.K10D wrote:

750 GBP is what we Aussies payed for it when first released, Maybe all the used K7s on the market are from Aussies selling them to you guys overseas and making tidy profits. All selling up, getting ready to buy the FF K9????

When I bought the K7, I had it two months with no Pentax lens. I had my Nikon kit with me. Could not try it until I got back to the UK, in the mean time I read about some issues with it and touch wood, mine has no issues, to date...
