Try looking at the Logan range of mount cutting equipment. Or the Frameco mat master system.. I think they are the leading brands right now...

I also use A2 Cutting mat..

Quick comparison

Without changing your lens collection too. In my opinion you will see little benefit from upgrading the camera body from K3ii to K1.. As you quite rightly point out current Pentax wide angle lenses are expensive. and longer lenses more expensive still. You could use older film lenses but why ? when you already have a perfectly good body to use..

nicely exposed..

Interesting....Never checked any of my lenses...

Totally agree with everyone. An absolutely fantastic set of images.. I'm so so Jealous....!! Love no 15,,, What was your equipment set up please ?

Awesome is the word I would use also.... Wonderful.. Speed shots really test a photographers technique... And these are spot on...

Lovely work...!! Hope its not too long before you post some more....

That was my point any lens is professional in the right hands.. A lot of people were questioning the insurance policy of the left luggage cabins.. It was a nightmare. Ive photographed The Open for many years. The practise days have always very much welcomed photography. While never on the actual championship days.. Now photography is welcomed as long as it cant take a decent image....lol

PS I did speak to a guy with the latest Iphone and after market telephoto adapter. The results were very impressive.. Maybe not magazine level but certainly high quality internet ready in seconds....

You may have noticed that this week I have visited The Open Championship at Birkdale. As I like sports photography and capuring the best at it. On Sunday there were no problems for the public and any lens was allowed in. Even my Sigma 150-500. But when I returned on Wednesday the mood had changed to a policy of. Any camera but no professional lenses. Luckily becauase I hadnt used it much on the sunday I left the Sigma at home.
This was fine except that the staff allowing people in wernt sure how to recognise a professional lens. And so pandamonium set in. And a lot of disgruntled people ensued.

When asked if I had any professional lenses in my bag ? My reply was "Nothing is professional in my hands"... To which the security man didnt see the funny side so he asked me again. To which I replied what do you class as a professional lens...? He just shrugged and said open my bag... To which he picked out my 70-200 f2.8 as a professional lens and would have to be left in the left luggage. I stated I had used it at the same championship only two days earlier. and one twice the size. But was told.. But there are more people here today..... Still not worked out the relevenance of that... As I had travelled with my brother I couldnt leave him to walk the course alone so I gave up the lens..

We did arrive quite early, and I noticed later on. They were measuering the physical length of lenses and if it was greater than eight inches. That was deemed to be professional....

So two points arose from the day.... 1 I dont know what a professional lens is ? 2. The K1 can produce some fine crops with a short lens using its 36mp sensor..

I'm currently writing my letter of complaint to the powers that be....
