Interested in HD Pentax-DA 20-40mm f/2.8-4 Limited DC WR Lens. Must be in excellent condition, obviously

PM me with details if you're interested in selling.

Hi Paul

Welcome to the forum! The K3 is a fantastic camera, have fun getting to know it!

I've a huge soft spot for Hull, and need to get over a bit more this year for the COC celebrations. Enjoy them while they're on! (And show us some images )

Welcome back to Pentax!

Know exactly what you mean about the Ltd's. I had a bit of a flirtation with mirrorless last year (Fuji), but concluded there is very little size/weight advantage from switching if you use the Ltd's... and the quality is top notch.

Be interested to see how you find the KP!

Fascinating photograph, fascinating thread.

And very interesting to hear both Nigel and Alan's perspectives.

I really, really admire this image and the effort, it's technically superb, but it doesn't have soul. Others have pointed out the odd features in more articulate terms, but the best way I can express it is that it looks contrived.

I saw another kingfisher image today, completely different, nothing like the technical wizardry, not in any way an award winner but much more to my liking as it put the chappie into a completely natural context link. And like Nigel said, I can relate to this more as a photographer... if I ever get really really lucky maybe one day I'll get something a bit like it

Welcome Ben
