Having seen the black Friday deals from SRS. I was contemplating over the above lens.. I thought it would make a fabulous walk about lens. Im attracted by the price. Would suit my flash studio photography..

But then I became a little concerned before parting with some cash. That at the longer end, It's a bit slow.. difficult to get a blurred background in street photography.?

Anyone got one and use it with a K1...? How have you found the lens in actual use...? I would be interested in hearing...

Used Photoshop for ten years now. Never had any major incidents. There's a lot of scare mongering goes around about it. If you use any of the alternatives. Good luck in tethering your Pentax....!!

Welcome aboard Johan

Well done David..As a member of Photocrowd myself. That's not an easy achievement by any means.. Interesting camera set up too...

Lovely story...

Got to agree with everyone else. Lovely images of the bright lights,,,Well done.

Was a bit bored earlier in the week.. Which is always dangerous. So via ebay I purchased a Pentax A 28-80 for a play.. Well £6 isn't going to break the bank now is it... So for an hour today I tried it out on my muddy boots...Well as you know it's winter... So if all goes wrong £6 for an hours entertainment isn't the end of the world... But I have to say with a little help from a studio strobe I was quite impressed..

Unfortunately my K1 is indisposed at present so I had to use my K5II. Cant wait to get it back...

"Raza" What a great name... Welcome to the forum my friend....!!

Medium format isnt something I profess to understand at all. But seems the Pentax 645Z has finally attained marvelous test results from DXO Mark.

Seems to be a little controversy over why it has taken two years to produce. But I couldn't possibly give comment on that subject.....

Very decent results given the time of year... I'm having a go at manual myself.. Just paid £6 inc postage for a 28-80 walk about lens... All good fun..
