Ooh I love no.3 from the last set. Very mystical and eerie. The last one's great too. Heh... roll on autumn! My least favourite time of year, but great for photography at least ;P

Frankly a da-l 135 f2f.8, based on the old FA. would also be awesome, as I don't fancy the size and weight of a 1.4. But maybe a plastic lens mount would be less appropriate for a long lens.

I really like these three tractor details, Dr. O.

Definitely agree... it's a little faster than the DA35 macro with smoother bokeh too.

Excellent. The orb spider looks surprisingly cuddly close up!

Good choice of camera btw. I was very fond of my K200D.

I paid a flying visit to the Flyover Show last weekend. Will definitely stay longer next time, lots to see and listen to. My F35-70mm came out of the bag again and proved its worth with some really nice sharp shots. The zoom range makes it more useful than the DA35mm unless you're after shallow DOF.

No they're not that bad! Nothing really sticks out as remarkable though. I do like the colours and textures of the boat, especially the close up with the fern. Framing the shot so that the boat's hull fills the shot, with the fern growing out of it, would be better though IMO.

The 'smears' are almost certainly caused by dust, tiny little fibres of it by the look of it. Have cured similar with the rocket blower, although it's best to be very careful with the rocket blower as you can get the dust all over the place, up into the viewfinder etc.

The photozone image sample at f4 is a lot better, so it appears I have a bad sample. I've never had much luck with pentax qc, my kit lenses have also been poor. I like the characteristics of the 15mm in other respects so I'll try at least one more copy. Not really interested in the 14mm, not really compact enough compared to my sigma 10-20. This experience makes me wonder about the nex + 16mm pancake, which is cheaper as a package than the 15mm alone.

Stefan - you either need to go to Specsavers or you're being wilfully difficult. They do not support AF, but HE IS HAPPY TO MANUALLY FOCUS HIS LENSES. AE - I guess you are only able to stop the lens down with the aperture ring and use them in AV mode, as you do with M42 lenses and an adapter on Pentax cameras. So DA/FAJ lenses will be out, but that leaves K, M, A, F, and FA lenses to choose from.

And with the kit lens the NEX is considerably cheaper than the K5, leaving more than enough money for a 16mm prime which would make it genuinely pocketable, an X100 substitute.

In fact, OMG - t's only 380.00 from Argos with the 16mm pancake!
