It was taken off years ago, I have mentioned it on numerous occasions and was told it would be rectified. It never was.

Was Sam aware of you taking the picture?
Yes he was, unusually for him he didn't see the camera and break out into some silly face Was Sam aware of you taking the picture?

Lovely shot of Finlay... aww he's getting on a bit bless him, I remember your pictures of him 'when he were just a pup...
He has just turned 10 ... time flies doesn't it. Thing is he often runs out into the back garden with one of Sams old trucks and throws it around for ages just like he used to do with the water bottles when we lived in Spain.

If you could, I'd suggest toning down the saturation on the background behind the Emu, as it pulls on the eye .... Something like the soft green bit in behind the dog would be perfect I think....
Must admit I did that on purpose, maybe I went a bit over kill on it though If you could, I'd suggest toning down the saturation on the background behind the Emu, as it pulls on the eye .... Something like the soft green bit in behind the dog would be perfect I think....
Thanks again.

Owch. SRS were selling that at £799 last year.
Great lens though with very handy close focus ability.

Personally I would wait a bit longer and see what the new 50mm f/1.4 is like, I have a feeling it could be quite something. I have promised myself I won't spend any more money on Pentax until they do something about AF speed/tracking but I may well be eating my words in a few months time.

Not really had much chance to use the K-1 lately but hopefully now the sun is shining I can get out a bit more. Just a few recent shots anyway.

An extraordinary item that looks in great nick. I'm no long wildlife shooter, but with ISO performance such as we now have available, both on FF and APS-C, who really needs F4 or F2.8 telephotos anymore ...?
Good luck with your sale!
With wildlife shooting focal length is everything. 400mm is barely useable a lot of the time (especially on full frame) so you are then looking at using teleconverters.An extraordinary item that looks in great nick.

Once that happens even f2.8 with a 2x starts to be a stumbling block when you need decent aperture and shutter speed.

If you think about it Ricoh are playing a blinder as every one is jumping on the band wagon for mirrorless it meets there is some stiff competition out there and something will have to give there could be some years in the market as some will doutedly disappear due to cost and there profit margines
I seem to remember reading the same thing when digital photography first started and everyone jumped on the bandwagon except Pentax who just put it down to being a fad.If you think about it Ricoh are playing a blinder as every one is jumping on the band wagon for mirrorless it meets there is some stiff competition out there and something will have to give there could be some years in the market as some will doutedly disappear due to cost and there profit margines
They never did catch up.

Basically I don't use it anymore. I mostly only use my crop body for long shooting lately and the K-1 for everything else (and I mostly use the FA 20-35mm for that).And if you don't mind me asking - why you decided against keeping it? I heard some mixed reviews, but mostly people are happy with it....
