Thanks, Tuscany is a pretty easy place to get some nice shots.

Thanks Tom, It is a useful travel lens and seems to produce decent photos.

Wonderful trip to Italy in September with the K5IIs and the DA 18-135. Can actually take photos inside of churches with no flash. Food, wine, beautiful countryside, with very then very friendly...

Thanks Phil, I was frankly surprised that I could get a pano with hand held.

Thanks Miles, I enjoy your work.

Thanks Andrzej, Italy is certainly one of my favorite countries in Europe to visit. Tuscany is maybe a bit more colorful with spring poppies and Spanish Broome in bloom in late May and early June.

No question about that. Thanks for looking

Thanks Simon. My Nokia 810 is certainly not equal to the Nokia 1040 and the 1040 is certainly not in the same universe with the K5IIs.

Thanks Joe. I take no credit for Italy of course.

With apologies to Phil Zucker. Florence (Firenza) from the rooftop terrace of hotel. K5IIs handheld as no tripod taken to Italy. From Castel Brolio wall in Chianti. K5IIs. Handheld so be kind...

Just returned from 3 weeks in Italy (Tuscany) and observed many folks were using DSLR's as well as of course iPad's, mobile phones, and P&S camera. In the Tuscan countryside I was a bit surprised...

Have you actually used a Nokia windows phone? In England, Germany, and France the Nokia windows phone is selling quite well and is increasing market share. My wife has a Samsung Android S III and...

I agree about photos of the beautiful landscape and the DA 16-45 - which I miss (mine was stolen). The new price for this lens is so much more than I paid several years ago.

That K01 does a really nice job (and the photographer as well). Love the full face on shot of #1.

Outstanding. Wish that I could stay up that late.....

Beautiful color of that rose....

Actually have you ever used a Windows 8 phone? I have and I really like the system. TMobile and Nokia phone -I know totally not cool.

Yes there are two "blinds" for viewing two ponds where the water birds are to be found (Rio Grande Nature Center State Park in Albuquerque, NM). It will get even better long-about November when the...

Got to see a Green Heron yesterday at our Nature Center in Albuquerque which I had not seen before. Some of the Canada Geese were having a good time with each other and were quite active on the...

Thanks Ron and Klaus - now I think that I understand the differences. I do have the DA*300/K5IIs so manual focus would be the approach if I decided to go with current tele-extender(s). Now the big...
