No. 1 - ...possibly?
No. 2 - No

Well at least they're not over-PP'ed like most of his stuff...

Just get the mount cut slightly smaller than the print, or find ones designed for your print size. You can lightly spray mount your print to a piece of thin card, which will make lining it up with the mount window a lot easier if you only have a few mm overlap.

I would search the classifieds here, and ebay prices for ended auction listings (not Buy It Now prices).

Just an observation. If someone is selling something through the classifieds, don't they have the right to choose the price they wish to sell at? It's up to buyers to check the going rate for equipment. I don't know why, but it really annoys me when people comment on the price, or the merits of the equipment, when they have no interest in the sale!

The last two are lovely, specially the one with dead ivy! I'm not sure if its the composition which doesn't work in shot 2, or that the gravestones do not stand out very much from the background. Perhaps a bit of both. The conversion looks burned out to my eyes!

I also like no.1, its a nice image to set the scene.

Wow- love that second shot! No shortage of contrast or sharpness there!

Lovely shots, I especially like the first. I feel vindicated in getting one of these now!

I feel so guilty, driving my carbon greedy, pollution belching Nissan Micra 1.0 (45mpg!) But at least I bought second hand. People forget the manufacturing process is also polluting - which is why the government's car scrappage deal was a load of shite.

First impressions - love the ultra wide angle! But quite a tricky lens... it can be adequately sharp all the way across the frame, but some of my closer up shots were really quite soft at the edges despite being at f8+.

It's great for the money though! The final shot shows the sort of thing the lens seems most suited to... I had been here with my 16-45 and failed to get such an interesting angle on the falls (or even get the whole of it in shot).

The location is absolutely awesome by the way, especially if you like waterfalls and industrial archaeology. It's in Matlock.

All shots were at 10mm. Why can't Pentax make a 10mm DA* prime?
