Apart from one trip on Sleazyjet many years ago I have never had my hand baggage weighed. Last trip was the K20D, the LX, the MX, a battery of lenses and my laptop. Not sure what it weighed but my back ached! Pretty sure it was somewhat in excess of 7kg, and probably more than 12kg.

That is a good price for that lens (which I have been looking for) but sadly my immenient move means I cannot afford it right now.

To answer Stefan's question, the usual use for a shift lens is for architecture but the angle of view of a 28mm lens on APS-C means that you'd have to have a lot of room to get the whole building in. It could be useful for details though, like doorways or windows.

As I am happy to use film I'd like one for that, although it wouldn't stop me playing around with it on digital.

Best wishes, K.

Here is the link to the fisheye thread.

I am fairly sure old Olympus lenses cannot be fitted to Pentax K via an adaptor and retain infinity focus. Selling on ebay is you best bet although SRS will buy them too.

I felt the same way but there was a thread in "my photos" a little while back with some stunning fishy images. Galoot was particularly succesful in using his.

I have just got back from the US. I took my K20D, my LX, MX and my Lubitel 2. I shot four rolls of film as well as 650 digital images...

I find that more and more if I am going to take just one camera and lens slung over my shoulder (rather than the backpack and a plethora of kit) I'll take something like the MX with the M40, or the LX with the FA43. For "street photography" (not something I do much of) I am veering to BW film more than digital.

I think George is right, however, that those of us who shoot some film tend to be fairly well informed as to our various lens choices, and it is unlikely to make much/any impact on lens sales. Having said that, I would like to buy a FA77 rather than the DA70 largely because of the aperture ring and FF coverage. Not that I can afford either...

Lovely shot. The tweak on the skew was worth it I think.

K.

I like the colours, I like the abstraction, but I find the composition a bit horizontal. Definitely worth more experimentation but perhaps at funkier angles?

K.

In general I rather like these unlike the super-saturated ones I have produced. I might be tempted to tweak the curves a bit to introduce a little more contrast, and some need their horizons straightened.

Best wishes, Kris.

I haven't got any nicad packs. You could try asking Robin at Harrow Techincal, he might be able to help or know who can.

Cheers, Kris
