The Mod team is actually very easy going ...
I'm sure Mannesty would agree if he still could...
"Easy going" wouldn't be the first predicate springing to mind. But that's probably just me.

ken was in the area today and we spent a pleasant day talking photography and dogs. Ken trains puppies destined to become guide dogs and brought his latest protégé around.

We saw your post earlier peter, and in our opinion you're now just trolling/flaming and trying to promote your own site, so it is now time for us to reluctantly close your account.
Yes, that's the spirit ruining this forum. I quit after "Timgate" a long time ago and recently started lurking again and participating in the weekly challenge. I have so hoped that the attitude of moderation might change for the better, your post shows that it's not. It's a pitty as what we had before it all went pear shaped was excellent.

You might as well close all of the accounts. Very sad, indeed.

You know you want to, Andrew!
Will be very hard to find something comparable for the other system...

Threads like these make me think that I should use it more often...

That's a great set! A shame that you don't get the opportunity for more outings like this, it definitely would be worth it...
Thanks for showing.

As you can read here Walimex and Ssamyang are different names for the same thing. That's what I indicated in the original post.
And it doesn't have an A aperture setting, that's why I said so ("all manual")

Price was 900 Euros.

Adrian Mills, Doctor of Light

No favourite picking here. Wonderful !!
That much is true. This masterful use of light especially is evident in January, June and October. The February snow flake and the April flower are ever so delicate. What a wonderful set you put together. And I'm fairl confident that you could put together another one of similar quality without much trouble...

These are absolutely superb I love them all but especially Temporarily closed, Baltic wave and Beach grass abstract.

Can I ask what camera/lens combinations were used to capture these shots, and did you use a tripod?
Thanks, John.

Beach grass abstract and Temporarily closed were taken with the DA* 16-50, the latter with tripod. (which I almost always have with me when out for photos). The Baltic wave was taken from a moving ship, so no use for a tripod. Lens was Sigma 70-300 APO DG Macro. And all with the K-5.

David, i also find that the minimalist ones are the ones I always like to go back to.

Thanks Tim and Doug!

Excellent set and a welcome meeting with some "old favourites".
