Great shots! Always wanted to see one, after poring over the picture and description in my Collins bird book as a kid!

Maybe this from the TOC's is the cause of the confusion - however, of course you have to grant yahoo rights to display and modify the photos submitted, or they wouldn't be able to display it on the website!

The da21mm is a beaut of a lens, but in the end I preferred my sigma 24mm f2.8 - doesn't have the beautiful flare-resistance, contrast and warmth of the 21 but I prefer the non-pancake design and it's actually sharper, and has slightly less barrel distortion.

Good spot Paul. I also like looking for these little 'accidental' compositions.

These are great as photographic exercises, but lack that striking juxtaposition or 'captured moment' which the best street photography has. I like the shadows in shades and shadows. I wonder if a crop like the one below would make more of that that nice light play.

Pentax have been rather vague about it.. link perhaps they don't truly know! I'm so sorry Mike, this is very depressing news.

I'm sure 'wrong tool for the job' is a bit strong. Have seen excellent insect macros which are much more interesting than the usual c.100mm shots - 35mm seems to give more of a bug's eye view and immerses you in the macro world. Admit you'd need the patience of a saint shooting butterflies etc, although it has been done. So perhaps not the wrong tool, but one which requires more patience and practise?

Adorable. I didn't realise they changed colour!

It's sharper, especially at the wide end and at the extreme edges, and wide open. It's also much wider - 2mm is a lot! It has very easily corrected PF.

A sensor that outresolves all your lenses doesn't sound much of a problem to me!
