Mhm...exquisite special edition. Art is very subjective but this, this is very special haha. I guess kudos to him for actually having people write that and pay him for it. He is obviously doing 'something' right; even if it's not photography

Though to be frank, I don't find the images of the tracks particularly interesting either; nor technically good and most certainly, not haunting.

Who 'makes it' in any artsy profession is as much luck as it is a good name, connections or actual merit. It has been like that for centuries. You need far less talent if you are capable of 'selling' yourself.

I recently looked at a large online photo competition that runs for 12 months - each with it's own theme, and a sort of a grand finale, a photo story.

Some submissions are unconditionally superb, even if they are not up to one's taste; some not so much. But than you look at feedback given by some supposedly successful photographers, and it makes one want to cry. Or at least, it does me. And then you look at their work. And you understand, and you cry some more.

But, there are people to which it obviously appeals; for whatever reason. That in itself, makes it a' viable art'. If someone wants to pay for it - it's worth it. That's how the world spins.

At the end of the day, who am I to judge when I find the best things about Picasso are his earlier pencil drawings and his daughter's original perfume line

While Lightroom for ipad is quite limited in comparison to it's big brother; it is actually doable. I have edited quite a few photos when on the go. I personally don't find the touch controls an issue. While I won't argue that a PC is more suitable for the job; if it's not an option for whatever reason, one can make a tablet work and chances are, the results will be better than what you camera can produce by default, which I believe is the intent here. Either way; just give it a shot. Get a trial of the software, flip the switch and have a play. You will know best if it suits you or not. Just my 2 cents

Don't know about EyeFi but The Pentax Flu one, is unusable for what you want imo. Way to slow to be of any benefit other than copying files off your camera. Think a good old field monitor would work better.

Super. No 4; almost a tropical feel to it and no 8 - I do like a good into the light shot. Just lovely

Fantastic lens. I originally bought the sigma; had it for 2 days and returned it back, after having tried the Pentax. It is so much sharper. You will not regret spending the money.

Just quick snaps. Any dust you see will be external. The glass is nice and clear. I am happy to accept return if you're not content with it (3 days); you pay the return postage in this case. It's a lovely, super sharp lens. It did require focus adjustment on my K7 (+2), but non on the K3II or KS1.

I have one. It's about year and a half old. I only used it for couple of months and then got an FA 50 1.4, which I prefer so this one is gathering dust. GBP 50 incl postage if you're in the UK (5 quid, signed for). No box, but with rubber, screw in hood. Perfect condition. Let me know if you'd like to see some pics. Cheers.
