Same view here... Been waiting so long..! If that's going to be the market price. It's a no..!

Welcome....!!

It was an interesting video.. One I found very curious.. I think it says that we are not giving up on the DSLR market entirly. But what we are producing won't be mass market products as such. But higher end professional goods. Like a lot of therir clientell I too cannot wait for the 85mm f1.4. But cant see me wanting to pay it's price...!! Though I did plunge for the 15-30 and 24-70.

Amazing photograph..! Especially when you consider it wasn't exactly the steadiest of shooting positions.. I'm a 16-45 owner, and have to say it also doesn't get much use now. Since getting the K1 and 24-70. But with my K1 awaiting repair. I did take it out this weekend. On a K5II. With some very positive results. You can't beat it for a walk about lens. (local walk. Excercise while on lockdown.)

Can't believe that night was 2 years ago...!! Some truely special images on view.. No portraits of "Moira" though.... Gutted personally....!! Lol.

That's good to know Nigel.. I'm not much of a phone guy... Just about send a text...Lol But you dont have to carry around extra lenses or purchase them for that matter.. So its more than just image quality. Though granted they have to be in the same ballpark... ?

Nige...!! Brilliant to see you back...Ii

Thought you and me were the very last of the K7 owners. Using mine again this week. As both my K1's have developed faults... I wont comment on your image. It's not really my cup of tea.. Thought we were "portrait" men....lol

But It brings up an interesting question..... ? In the modern era, Can a K7 out perform a mobile phone.. ?
Yes I appreciate it's a bit of a generalisation as to which. why and where..! But I would be interested to know the members thoughts...?

Or maybe I should start a new thread..?

Fabulous images you have spotted and created there...Bill I Keep being put off by the price of the DFA 50 1.4...! But am always attracted to the stunning creations folks are making with it... ! I may have to reconsider...Lol

How Do you get the 100mm macro so close up ?

Already use Luminar 4 from Skylum.. It was an awkward load as I remember. But worth it, The company talked me through it in the end.. Cant exactly remember the issue now. Think it was something to do with protection on the internet. But when you get it installed. It's a first class program Very easy to use. I just use it for the portrait enhance features at present. Doesn't make false faces like Portrait Pro. Not got around to the easy landscape rendering or skies....!

Nice one Chris....!
