Just spotted on eBay today
Pentax-A 100mm 2.8

From what I've read it's an excellent lens. I'm not buying as I'd rather prefer a macro version, but maybe someone's interested.
Disclaimer: I don't know the seller - no connection.

Thanks, Gwyn One day I'll see such waves in real I hope...

Today we went to Belton House and I've been amazed by a number of flowers blooming there - just a week ago there were just snowdrops and now... Most of these taken with DA 55-300mm - it's good for closeups, however not that easy to handhold

Starting with a daffodils (Pentax-A 50mm)

A number of crocuses (I think) in different colours:

As usually, all comments welcome

Now, once it's said I think it is

Not really, I liked the colours, esp. on first 2 pictures. I just noticed that they looked more vibrant than colours on pictures I take Still, I must admit I love the colours I get straight from the camera (K20D) - they are a bit similar to what I used to get on Fuji films. I never liked Kodak or Konica colour cast; Fuji was my favourite (I think it is something about green and yellow going there) - and it is similar on Pentax.

RR, you're probably right - at first I thought about a kind of a filter (ie washer / dishwasher). And #2 - is it some part of a tassel being a decoration on a grandfather clock?

I'm also quite a novice here, so take my opinions lightly I prefer the colour one, however it would look better if you could get more details from shadows if possible...

Oh Father, father of yours was very wise indeed. I agree completely

That's sad news - I hope Fiona will recover quickly. Best wishes

Thanks - and I wondered why I have noise in shadows @ISO 200. Next time I'll switch it off and look at the difference then.
