Assuming your Tamron is still working OK, it's quite a good standard zoom. You might find this interesting on the US Pentax site: link
In fact, you already appear to have quite a good range of lenses. If you want to expand your gear, perhaps consider something else, e.g. a Pentax flash.

Hello again, Nigel. Has a bit of confusion arisen in this thread or (perhaps more likely) is it just my mistaken impression? I was assuming that the image in your first post is from your K-7 and that you have only recently processed it on your phone? The thread didn't appear to me to set out to compare the relative merits of a DSLR and a phone camera for capturing images?

Number 7 - great depth to the composition, in two of its three dimensions!

Welcome back again, Nigel. Let's hope this is the first of many new threads and images from you.
I see what you mean about it needing a black surround. Nevertheless it still seems rather too dark to me, and the JPEG histogram seems to show that you have a fair amount of leeway before anything will become too bright.

The evolution of manual tools.
I like the reworked version.

I agree with Peter's comments.
Just to add that my first choice is number 6 for its colours, its tight composition, and the detailed structure of the two trees.

With your experience, I'm sure you will have tried everything. Nevertheless I'll just mention that, for many shots, I have the camera above waist height, close to my (too large!) tummy, and look down at the tilted-up screen - rather like using a TLR. This helps to shield the screen from daylight to give a much clearer view....I can't get on with using the screen - it just doesn't suit me Most of these shots were basic compositions with very little vision or skill used at the taking stage because I can't make out the detail well enough...
Cheers.

I hope you are now thinking that it's worth keeping?!
