Ecellent shot, well done.
My latest offering has been 'ready for review' for ages now.

Some days I just take one camera/lens out. It was the Jupiter 85mm for a little while, and I did the same when I got my MX back.
Went for a walk yesterday with a rucksack full of kit and my K10D with the DA* 50-135mm in my hand. I took every shot with what I had in my hand. Hmmmm... I think there might be a lesson there!

Yup, but the RAW has the current WB stored in the EXIF data which Lightroom (and possibly other programs) then looks at as the value to set when you first download it. Changing it is just one mouse-click away once you realise what is going on. Not sure if the OP shoots RAW or jpeg. Just one more thing to tweak in Lightroom.Kris - if I shoot RAW then I think WB is irrelevant?

I don't "need" more than the 17-70 in most circumstances, certainly not enough to spend 12-24 money (even the Samsung at £450 'ish), but it would be nice to have something centred around 14mm which I find a very workable F/L for quick wide shots...
Why not get a DA 14mm or DA 15mm Ltd then? The 12-24 is a big lens, the Ltd very small.I don't "need" more than the 17-70 in most circumstances, certainly not enough to spend 12-24 money (even the Samsung at £450 'ish), but it would be nice to have something centred around 14mm which I find a very workable F/L for quick wide shots...

You can get an adapater (see here) but my guess is that everything will be manual like using an M42 lens on a K-mount camera.

I had a 28mm A and didn't get on with it all. It just didn't seem to deliver the same richness of colour that other lenses do but maybe that was my fault. Anyway I sold it and never looked back!

Did you have the white balance on daylight or auto? I found my K-135mm can look dull at first until you realise the AWB is way off. It then looks lovely set to daylight/sunny.I had a 28mm A and didn't get on with it all. It just didn't seem to deliver the same richness of colour that other lenses do but maybe that was my fault.

Some nice shots there but they all need the horizon straightening.
Best wishes, Kris.
