K28 3.5  Meditation on Spanish Banks (K-5, K28 3.5)

Sadly it won't work on a Pentax. I can safely dispose of it for you for a small fee! But if you want to use it, a micro 4/3 body with an adapter will fit the bill. I have a micro 4/3 body.

Great shots with one of my favourite lenses!

Oh if it were that easy! I've not found any K mount lens that will actually mount on my 5D. The mirror box is too short. They won't mount unless you shave the mirror, or remove the aperture lever...

Still enjoying my obsolete E-3, LR 4.4, Silver Effex Pro E-3, 14-54 Vii

Fake infrared starts with a white tulip!

In the spirit of any camera, any lens; Canon 5D, Pentax Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 55 1.8. (I left my E-3, and E-P1 at home this morning)  Raw conversion in LR 4.4

I nominate this for best plan!

Shot in 2005 with a *ist DS, reprocessed in Lightroom 4 the other day.  *ist DS, Pentax SMC K50 1.4

I shoot with an original 5D, EP-1, and a GF-2. I gave up with Canon UW when I tried 3 new copies of 17-40. All 3 made a mess of fine detail in distant objects at 17mm. I bought a Yashica ML 21 3.5,...

Very nice! Reminiscent of Barbarella.

Use the best: 14-54 2.8-3.5 VII AND adapter, total about $800, but well worth it. I use one on my EP-1  and GF2.

Congratulations, that is one very pretty bird!

I took the liberty of re-processing, this was what I thought the optimal direction should be;

I like the framing/composition. The emergent stair-walker is a good touch. Overall there is a bit too much grey. The workers with the ladder are an important contributor, but get lost. Try...

Makes you wonder what happened to the fingers that pushed those buttons!

The universe smiled and the local camera store had 3 great lenses turn up. K28 3.5, K35 3.5 and an M50 1.7. All are in very nice condition. The Super/SMC/Super Multi Coated Taks are used on my 5D.

I got my K-5 at London drugs for $799 last month; they were clearing the demos.  Kerrisdale Cameras   also has the full range as well as good turn-over in used gear. That is where I found my K28 3.5.

Vancouver has an active Pentax market with the full range of bodies available at the major camera shops and the largest mass-market retailer in Western Canada.Why use Pentax, why not!K-5, K28 3.5
