I am asking, because i have seen on the odd occasion, there have been none Pentax (and none related) images on it...
I was hoping to post an astro one on there from my dedicated astro camera, but if it'll cause a stir. I'll just stuff it in the General Photography forum.

Just wondering what the rules are around posting none Pentax images in latest photos??
Obviously they'll not be considered for photo of the week.
Thanks,
Ian

I have the 150-500.... It has served me very well over the 15 years I have had it, and it has taken all the abuse I have given it! Strong and sturdy is what I call it.... It even survived a fall, but the camera is was attached didn't!
People say it can be soft at 500mm, but I have taken pin sharp images at that focal length. I find at that focal length it is best to go manual focus. It gets even better closed down to f8 and above.

I was born and dragged up Doncaster....
So I have a lot of the Yorkshire gene in me, but after having a two hour lecture from my old man about the virtues of saving money. I decided to suppress my Yorkshire gene.... it pops up now and again!
By the way.... the lecture was precipitated by me asking to borrow a fiver.....

At that price for an ultra-wide it seems like a good deal even if AF is dodgy, as long as you can focus it manually with good results. You won't find many other options at 12mm.
I have a 6D, so a bit newer than a 5D II, but it has AF fine-tuning so I would imagine the 5D II would too. Maybe it's just that? My Tamron 28-75/2.8 focused badly on the 6D but the other Tamron and Sigma lenses I've tried on it are fine, if slower and noisier than the newer Canon lenses I have.
Oh course!!! I forgot Canon can do this. Thanks for reminding me. I'll give it a shot.At that price for an ultra-wide it seems like a good deal even if AF is dodgy, as long as you can focus it manually with good results. You won't find many other options at 12mm.

Never heard of that in an astro photography context before...assume it refers to the bright spine of the visible Milky Way?
