I refuse to amswer that question... Bojidar lists 36 K series primes alone. Mind you, I doubt I'll find a copy of the 2000mm lens.

I really like the first one. The pose in the second one is a bit weird but the lighting and the conversion suit the setting. The third one does nothing for me (sorry) and the snow is too blue. I like the last three and one can take ones pick which you prefer. Personally I like the third [sixth] one but only because I am fond of the Wrekin. Were these from the top of Caer Caradoc?

Best wishes, Kris.

Portraits are not my forte but I like these: nice and informal, relaxed, subtle lighting. One comment is whether it might be possible to selectively brighten the background a little in Nos. 1, 3 and 4? It might not look any better but I'd be tempted to try and see what it looks like.

Best wishes, Kris.

I did wonder about that. It was, indeed, a ship. Thanks for the helpful comment.

Best wishes, Kris.

No AF, no TTL lightmeter, no burst mode, no autowind, no autoexposure, no histogram, no preview and yet a fascinating picture.

The man jumping in the puddle I am not so keen on, I find it 'busy'. The man on the bicycle I love. With all the "great" photographers I prefer to take their pictures, just as I take every one elses, each on their own merits. Having seen some of Ansell Adams' photos printed up HUGE, I was truly blown away but some of them were, well, dull. There are some fairly ordinary pictures of trees that get reproduced in books of his photos that are rather unremarkable.

Best wishes, Kris.

I see I am going to have to get one of those Sonnars to try out one day. I remembered this morning that I have a Takumar preset 135mm lens in chrome and black and with a 46mm front filter. It is in almost perfect cosmetic condition and the glass is clear, just very stiff to focus. I ought to sort it out and use it.

Thank you Andrew, I had a good day. I seem to work well in cold weather!

Excellent choices Technoblurb! The requiem is stunning, and I am very fond of 2112 too.

Some of these scenes from an old thread may look familiar... link

I like this shot very much but I feel it needs a bit more contrast (an S-shaped curves adjustment layer does it wonders).

How are you doing your BW conversions? I'd love to play with the original file on this one!

Best wishes, Kris.
