The last two are my best - I think, others a bit too light?, but this is just a first time out with this Vivitar 75-205 f3.8 vintage lens I acquired this week from the 'Bay
It's the single ring not the other double ring, and I must say I'm shocked at how good it is. I compared best I could from some archive shots I took on a Pentax DFA* 70-200 f2.8, (a lens I no longer have BTW) and dare I say it's 'knocking right on the door'. At f8 these shots were taken, I didn't try any lower, and there is no CA and sharpness appears as good as best I can tell, the comparison pics are different locations unfortunately, in the 3rd pic the man could be identified IMHO.

Along our favourite walk in nice weather.
K1 mk II playing with HDR.

[quote:3496ace15f="MikeInDevon"]Yes, No.1 is very much the pick of the bunch for me.

Me too.

It's a nice balance between the two, now becomes an individuals choice, I'm undecided but the boss prefers the original one before denoise
Cracking pictures.

Hmm, I can't but help preferring the originals before the denoise and sharpening, but yeah I get they are sharper after. I do like to see' the Milky Way look I guess, the Nebula shots will probably work for me though - sometimes

Thank you, I thought it popped better than the first.

Much better viewed on a monitor rather than my mobile lovely photos.

K1 mkII and DFA 28-105. Not SOOC as I underexposed a bit too much, so tweaked in RT and boosted contrast and a bit of Graduated filter in PP too.
I can't help but think of Dinosaurs when looking at these.
Taken just before noon today in Heybrooke Bay, Devon.
