Now that you have mentioned the sky being blown out and pale/white i can see the areas you mean.Hopefully get some reading done(maybe even look in the instruction manual)this weekend and have a practice with the manual settings to combat the problems you have highlighted.
Keep posting your results!

Overall I think you did good. What you could improve is mainly to play with the aperture to avoid the sky to get blown out. Some highlights are blown in #1 and 3 and the sky is a bit pale/white.
Number #2 is a very good composition - but technically a difficult shoot to preform - you shoot in to the sun...
The left gets a bit dark....but overall some very good ones for a first walk.

Anyone tried to use a TC on the new lenses????

Haven't had time to play with it so far - just a few test shots....looked good.
The body came with a flash - have to part with both
But still it seems to be a very good price for both lenses.....

I recently sold an M50/1.4 (not as desirable as the A version) with a little fungus on it for £56, see: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320152788107
Based on this, and what I've noticed others fetching, I would imagine the A-50mm would double your £45 outlay on its own - good find!
I'm tempted to put it all on ebay - to get some more om my current £300 i got so far.
I will let you know if I made the deal

Funny thing - I always find something interesting.
I found a ME Super - with a 50mm A 1:1.4 and SMC PENTAX-F ZOOM 1:4-5,6 70-210 mm
All - for £45.
It looks like a good steal - I believe the 50mm goes for around the same price on ebay these days? Not sure about the zoom or the camera?
I might be tempted to pick it up and sell some of my other 50mm lenses.
I got a 50mm A and M lens- both 1:2......Is the 1.4A a better choice?

Not sure about the scenes, but overall you show some skills to pick out decent ones.
I like the mill shot the most. Nicely executed.
The lake shoot your sky is a bit blown out - might need to play with the aperture...
Keep them coming - and welcome to the forum.

Anyway I'm saving for a macro and a DA* atm. so I'm putting these two up for sale.
1) 50mm A F1.4 - lens is optically in perfect shape. No signs on glas whatever - no fungus - nothing. On the outside a small dent on the fliter holder (filter can be turned on - but a bit tight) Other than that the lens is very clean and works smoothly.
2) Pentax SMC F 70-210 1:4-5.6 - Lens and glass in very good condition. No signs on the glass - no fungus. Outisde is very nice only a few marks of use.
I havent done research on the lenses but are thinking of asking £100 for the zoom and same for the 50mm lens.
Im open to offers.
I live in Copenhagen so postage to EU and UK is 10£.....
I will post pictures later.
