Another few alternative shots of drifting. All shot with K-5 and Sigma 150 500 all wide open

Thanks guys!

Cheers Steve

usually I am in a hide photographing birds and the like but I have to say what a fantastic time it was chasing after cars for a chance.

Here are the results from a K-5 and Siggy 150 500 - ALL shot wide open (F6.3) at various lengths

Thanks for your feedback guy's. I'm coming around to your way of thinking

Sorry you dont like it Patty!

Im disappointed with the opinions as I liked it!

I appreciate your honesty

Thank you John

I like the background as it serves to emphasise the depth of the field.

Hi guys

what do you think of this?

K-5 and kit lens ( 18 55 )

Critique is always welcome

Here Here!

I have been sorely tempted to move to one of the other brands and God only knows I should given the fact I do wildlife photography BUT I like the output that I get and think that the history of the system speaks for itself.

I would be SO happy to see a 1.4 Converter in operation.

For those that dont know (it appeared in another thread) I contacted Pentax/Ricoh UK and asked them directly when the 1.4 Teleconverter was going to be released, after all it does appear in the 2013 ROADMAP!!!!!

Here is the exact conversation copied and pasted...

Hi
I sincerely hope my message is received and acknowledged.
I've been shooting pentax now for ten years. Have had all the old school cameras and currently use k-x and k-5 for my wildlife projects. I have to use third party lenses at the long end all the time and my da*300 yearns for a teleconvertor.!
Is it the new road map converter 1.4 going to support auto focus with this lens?
I'm seriously considering changing to another camera company but don't want to do that.
Regards

Hi Alistair,
I am the social media coordinator and am not familiar with whether or not our road map will include the product you are looking for. I will try to find out. I'd tell you to sell your 300 and buy the 560! Its amazing!

Hi
There is a teleconvertor in the bottom right of the road map 2013 pdf.
The 560 mm is too expensive!
Can you advise on a good teleconvertor that i I CAN get at present?

Hi there, I think you might be looking at a road map from Japan, but unfortunately they haven't provided us with any additional information. I'm sorry to come up empty-handed for you.

That's a pity

Well, the road map does say 2013 OR Later. So it has probably been moved to another year.


I gave up after that...


ANOTHER YEAR????????

This has been from 2007 and maybe before???

Bloody ridiculous

Ok lets look at them individually

The pentax 1.7 is obviously best but if cant track that down how easy isit to get the tammy or the coffee?
