Can I know which pictures are from the 21mm ltd in landscape web?
To be honest none of the photos on my website are taken with the 21mm, I've used it mainly when on holiday as a walkabout lens.

Thanks

Simon

Regarding the financial and marketing angle..If both sensor/filter combinations are similar cost then why not just produce both versions at the same price and let the customer pick which he/she prefers in the same way that they might choose a white camera over a blue one or a red over a black.
Must admit that I've not really read all this thread, I don't see any problem with the original K5 image sharpness and I print landscape shots up to 36x24 inch quite regularly.

Personally though I think the K5IIs is a "testing ground"/stop-gap model, firstly to generate a little more interest in what's now an old body (relatively speaking) and secondly to see how many people really want a non-AA filter model, I'm guessing if demand is high then we'll probably only see non-aa filter models in future

Ultimately though I won't be spending on another body until the K5 replacement comes along..which hopefully will be quite soon as it might quell my thoughts on moving elsewhere for a FF model.

My experience is that galleries/craft centres are far more successful than pubs/restaurants.

You need to calculate all of your costs and then factor in any commission that the outlets will charge on your sales, probably between 30/40%. Depending on your target market pricing could be a sensitive issue so minimising costs whilst retaining a good product are essential to make it worth your while. Good luck!!

Photo of lens, box & original lens pouch.

Lens and pouch are both mint condition but the box is slightly worn so to reflect this price is £250 including RMSD

I'm selling my DA21mm Ltd, purely because I can't help using my DA17-70 instead, the 21mm has had hardly any use. Supplied in original packaging with pouch, hood etc...in excellent condition.

Price is £265 including RMSD

I'll post some photos later tomorrow just in case

Any questions etc please PM me

Thanks

It does depend on the type and circulation of the magazine so it's impossible to give a definitive answer.

I find the best approach is to ask them what they normal pay for such images, good quality magazines will already have a price in mind...they'll probably quote slightly lower for obvious reasons but it gives you a good starting point for negotiation. It's worked for me anyway!!

Missed that one...must admit it will have to be very good for me to even consider replacing my DA12-24, nice to have more options though..hoping the rest of the lens roadmap might hurry along a bit too!!

I love the 3rd. It has the feel of an old slide photo, very nostalgic. Sky is spectacular.

Could the foreground sand maybe take a half stop brightness reduction?
Thanks...I'll have a look at the sand but must admit I quite like how the sun has brightened it.
