A very sobering photograph. I've never been there, I should visit some day.

I wish you lot would stop posting such good Q shots... I'll get up succumbing...!

Nice images, BTW!

Did anyone here buy the 1000mm monster I have been watching on ebay for a little while? Didn't fetch that much really, but more than I could afford to splash out just after Christmas.

K.

Really? More bland and grey here. I agree with Gwyn, very uninspiring light lately. That and my better half being ill since Christmas has put a dampener on our planned rambles. Oh well...

I wondered why my image entitled "MX (1)" on flickr had got so many views today.

I'm glad to see the PUF tradition of badmouthing every product the moment it is released is alive and well.

Happy New Year!

Go Broncos!

Personally I'd go for the cheapest one!

On my film cameras I use 28mm a huge amount, probably because for twenty years it was my standard wide angle lens and I "see" at that length. Mostly on digital I've got into the habit of using something longer, like my 85mm or 100mm lenses. If I need to go wide I use my 12-24mm. A fast 18mm prime would be very nice, however. I have the K15 but that lens makes me nervous for general use due to its bulbous front element. The K18 is not very common and usually costs a packet.

K.

I'd be surprised if they would touch 50 year old classic cameras. My experience with them for modern stuff was mediocre.

I had an image of someone in one of those human cannonball acts being shot across the studio...

Is the big silver "Pentax" logo stuck on? It looks like the decal from the front of an ever ready case to me.
