Maybe it was enraged by it's own reflection?

Gorgeous shots, I love the B&W seascape... very minimalist.

Agree with Barrie. #2 is a keeper. The rest aren't in the same league really IMHO...

I had both at the same time, and once I had the Tammy and used it regularly the 16-45 went. The Tammy suited me better, and I felt it was way sharper across the frame. Plus the f2.8 meant it came in handy in darker situations.
+1! The Tammy is much sharper across the frame - at f4 it spanks the 16-45mm, and I think it's pretty sharp wide open at f2.8 as well.

To be fair I get the sense that the 'Another Pointless Thread' is grudgingly permitted, as a sort of compromise... I suspect to the mod's way of thinking, diverting all silly/no photography related chat into one single thread at least doesn't clutter the forum up too much, albeit I suspect they would ideally like to remove it altogether.

I can't compete with that (shooting an abandoned cooling tower or amusement park would be a dream come true!) But I did have wander around an abandoned mental hospital near Aston upon Trent on Wednesday. OK they're just record shots, but the purpose of the visit was actually for a 'model shoot'...

Pentax M 20mm f4. Classic compact ultrawide for Pentax SLR and DSLR cameras. Excellent optical condition. No scratches, fungus, haze. Minimal dust.

Excellent cosmetic condition, too.

Asking £235 OVNO. Also listed on Ebay but will be withdrawn if I get an acceptable offer here.

You can go to 07.10 of this clip to see the MX-1 being used with off-camera flash:

It's quite a charming little review and I like the other feature he highlights... the optional shutter sounds

MAGNIFICENT.

Better than the kind of guy who likes to undress dolls, I guess.

Interesting and weird shots Nigel, well done.

For me the perfect pocket camera would combine the charm and functionality of the Pentax MX-1, with the DSLR-like image quality of the Sony RX100.

Both of these cameras have their pluses and minuses but both would be great for stowing away on city breaks etc. Blunty breaks it down: Pentax MX-1 Review - Worlds Best Value Compact? (Go to 12.30 for the comparison)....
