Thanks, Kris.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but as the image can no longer be seen since I left flickr, I thought I would re-post it with the link to ipernity. Shame I cannot just edit my older posts to update the links. Hey ho...

By the way, since getting the original post I now have a working copy of the lens, but not the lens hood!

Best wishes, Kris.

Someone should collect Peter's stories together, they are a wonderful collection!

Yes. Firstly, you need to go into the menus and permit the use of the aperture ring. I don't know exactly where it is on your model, but it usually lurks in the 'C' set of menu items.

Once you have done that, set the camera to manual. To take a light reading, I press the green button (on a K20D and K-3). Again you might have to check that with your model. You can then adjust the aperture with the aperture ring, and the shutter speed in the usual way.

Often, the suggested exposure is rather more than it needs, and so I normally end up knocking a stop or two off the suggested exposure. Often, I'll just take a quick snap of something neutral like the pavement and then check the histogram and adjust accordingly.

Hope that helps. Kris.

Only four years between posts...! K.

I decided to try the "Single in... " challenge on the US fora to make myself go out and look for pictures more. The lens for April was the 30mm. I think I am going to try the K85mm/1.8 for May.

Best wishes, Kris.

I'm assuming everyone else can see it without going to ipernity? Let me know. AFAIK, it should work... !

Thanks, Kris.

I'm with Karlo on this, although my favourite is the second one. K.

No idea, especially as the image shows in your quote... K.

Lovely images all but I especially like the third one at sunset. Lovely. K.
