Can be difficult when the light is so strong and there is a bit of haze. Messes with the colours in a way that is difficult to correct in PP.

Did you stop for a cuppa at Jennycliff?

Me thinking, "what does this have to do with three monkeys?". Bilingual brain...

These really lend themselves well to B&W.

That cart and the lanterns are fabulous!

The astro shots are so clean! Must have been a nice clear night after the downpour.

1 and 3 are my favourites. That street is quite picturesque and so calm without many people. The door is great, although maybe the framing/crop is a little tight.

Don't keep tempting me!

Maybe once I move house and find some pennies...

Tempting to go with my 100mm macro but I can't right now. I'll keep an eye out in future though.

Difficult choice as there are so many lenses to choose from.

Shooting a K-3iii I'd got for the DA21Ltd, DFA100WR, and DA*300.

They are not quite my most used lenses, even at almost 4000 keeper photos each. That honour goes to the DA*16-50(mk1) with over 7000 keepers. While a zoom is versatile it isn't as pleasing in terms of output. It is my most used as I have had it since about 2008 as I was an early(ish) adopter. The other lenses have seen a lot more use in a shorter time. Having said that, I got the 300 as soon as I could after the 16-50 so I think it is almost as old.

I really had a hard time choosing between the 21 and the 15. While the 15 provides a really nice wide FoV it isn't as versatile as a general purpose lens. I have travelled with just a camera and the 21 limited and have no regrets with what I was able to capture. Adding the 100mm is enough to cover most things. I only need a longer lens for some wildlife.

If Pentax made a 21 limited with WR I'd be all over it.

I'd like to replace my 16-50 with the new version as the AF on the old one is incredibly inaccurate due to the short throw. It is even bad on the K-3iii.
