Very nice. The first looks like a far off planet, but the second one looks like something from a sci-fi movie. Well done.

Chartwell is one of my favourite places. I like 2 and 3. No 3 especially, I can imagine that the great man has just got out of that chair.

Couldn’t possibly comment

For those debating, SRS are doing it at £450 off. (Almost enough for a Lee 150 kit !!! )

Yes it is a big and heavy beast and so is the DFA 24-70. But what I have found since getting the K1 a year ago is that I take the tripod out with me much more than I ever did before and I feel it is helping to improve my photography. I take a lot more time now than I did before.

It is indeed. I see that you are a local too.

Woking has many advantages, but will never win "pretty town of the year" award. Best photographed looking straight up like these !

I picked up the 15-30 in the sales (thanks Chris) and gave it an outing today. Have to say i am well impressed.

The first curtain movement creates a minute shock. I guess that certain lenses due to their construction, are affected by the shock more than others, and amplify that shock, leading to a blur effect in a certain shutter range. The K-1 seems to have this 1/60-1/200. Any shorter time and the second curtain closes before the shock can affect the picture, any longer and the shock induced blur is a fraction of the overall exposure and so is not noticeable.

I dont own the 25-105 so cannot comment on that lens although as I said it is a common denominator. I personally have not noticed shutter shock when handholding the K-1 with any of my lenses, but it is noticeable when using a longer lens (DA* 60-250; DA* 300) on a tripod.

Shuttershock is not new and has affected all brands and models to an extent over the years. Using the K1 LV Electronic Shutter when using those speeds on a tripod with a long lens completely eliminates the problem.

I also dislike the fact that one has to untick the "extras" that the installers want to "gift" to you, but Adobe are not alone in this.

I have used Elements for years without issue, and this was the first time I had a problem when I needed to uninstall/reinstall an Adobe product. All sorted now happily.

I know many do not like the subscription model that Adobe use, but again they are not alone in this. Personally I think £10per month for LR and Photoshop together is reasonable.

Don't want to be a party pooper, but the 28-105 repeatedly comes up as a common denominator in forum threads discussing shutter-shock with the k-1 in the 1/60-1/200 shutter range. Hand held and on a tripod.

Do a forum search over at Pentax forums.

It seems to affect some users and others not at all. Either way using LV Electronic Shutter deals with the problem completely.

Well i store all my photos the same way Stan, on a seperate hard disc. I dont use any of the cloud facilities.

I will do Brian. I have been used to using the editor in Elements to do my editing and I now use Photoshp CC.

At some point I will have a further look at Lightroom's editing facilities.
