sunlight? What's that?

Nice shots. K.

Arranged the prints on the table and shuffled them around until I got something I liked!

Thanks for the nice comments. Kris.

When I was in Sibiu, Romania, I shot a set of images specifically with the idea of making a poster. As they were not shot using a Pentax (I used my Lubitel 2), I cannot post it here but hopefully am allowed to link to it: poster.

Comments, probably best through PM or on Flickr if you have an account, welcome.

Kris.

Or plant shake! There is nothing sharp in B so it has to be A for the first one. C is the better of the second pair. In both cases I feel a square crop would help the composition, there is too much of nothing in particular around the main subject as is.

Cheers, Kris.

Oops, sorry. Yes, SMC Pentax-M 85mm f/2. K.

I was just playing around in the garden with this lens fitted onto my K20D with a 21mm extension ring. All shot around about f/4 give or take a stop. Terrible weather for this sort of thing (very strong gusts of wind) and the images are not anything to get excited about, but they do show the character of this old(ish) bit of glass.










Best wishes, Kris.

The 35mm f/2 was certainly worth that.

Most software packages have a function to help counteract vignetting so it is less of a problem than it used to be. The 12-24 is a stunning lens and the lack of barrel/pin cushion distortion would be a bonus for photographing buildings. I have no idea how the Sigma fares on that front, but again there are software solutions available these days.

If you are really after a wide lens for just this one trip, have you considered renting a 12-24 from SRS? Obviously, you cannot re-coup the cost by selling it again, but it might solve your short term dilemma.

Cheers, Kris.

I have three chrome ones and a black one. Two of the chrome ones were real bargains and I must get around the selling them!

Good luck. Kris.

Lovely looking example of one of the best SLRs around. I'd be tempted myself but I already have four of them... Good luck with your sale.
