Great shots!

I recommend going with the K-50. You'll love it. And you'll love the 77 once you start using it. Pentax users are renowned for their photographic/artistic merits/roots, and for being less concerned...

What you say intrigues me. However, not being in a position to disagree with you, I shall take what you are saying at face value. And that makes me wonder why the optical formulae would differ. Is...

Never mind linking... we are not allowed to even mention Pentax 4ums' name here. I had it removed twice (by someone who I think is not a someone anymore, but I could be wildly mistaken) and I...

Good photo! And looks like a good cup of coffee as well!

The rounded blades are there. Look a little bit and you'll find confirmation.

I wouldn't know how to tell the difference between the two myself. I've a feeling you need a way to actually measure the transmittance and so on and so forth. Maybe sell the 40mm Ltd... buy a used...

If 40mm works for you and image quality is your only concern, then look at the DA 40mm f2.8 XS. Same optics... rounded aperture blades... same SP coating as the current DA Ltd lineup (bar the...

I love technology!

There is a user on the Pentax SRL forum called brandrx. His name is Ron. Look through many of the threads he has started and you will probably find all the info you need on catch-in-focus (CIF)...

Nice shots! I like the first one a lot.  Love that offset canopy. Any frontals?

Like a teenage girl at a Bieber concert?

What sometimes happens is an item is screwed into another at a certain temperature. When the temperature changes they have different thermal expansion (barely measurable). The outer item maybe...

What the hell was the guy doing there standing with a camera down by his waist? He should've been taking pictures! Or does the A4 come past so often it's old hat? Kind of like at Oshkosh when...

That is fantastic. I spent nine years growing up in a house adjacent the corner one, and across the road was the railway line. During this period I witnessed the end of steam engines and the move...

The first picture is really nice. The third one is good too, but I would love to have seen more of the front with the train disappearing into the distance at the back. I came within an ace of...

I don't think it will be $120 a year for very long at all.

Perhaps the original, somewhat steep, pricing kept enough users away to awaken a realization?

Does this mean we get lured at a super-low price and then in a year or so (whatever the bean counters...

Ron, I've always enjoyed looking at your BHS images. You live in a great part of the world. Another great series of images. BTW how can you tell it's the same young you saw previously? Thanks. :)

Yes, we have good airshows too here, but... they have a different feel to them. I was just at Oshkosh... Incredible. Saw my first Puss Moth. Didn't have $500 for a ride in a B-17 (smaller inside...
