Nice to see some IR photos posted :-) I also haven't shot IR for some time. The *istD sensor (same as K100ds) responded well to IR but my K5 sensor not so much.

Well this year (on Saturday) I tried my first ever photos of the Perseids, from my backyard. It's semi-rural but suffers from some light pollution. Anyhow, I managed to catch one but it's really ...

This is common and is easily fixed, and probably the seals around the back door are also deteriorated. I would check the battery compartment even though everything seems OK !

I order film from Amazon and get it developed, printed and scanned by Ilford Labs postal service. It costs a bit more but quality is pretty good.

Thanks Mike and Arjit  :-) I used my Tamron 500mm 55BB . . .

Had a rare visit of some siskin to my garden last year, I ran to get my Tamron 500 mirror lens and ran off a few shots. Just got round to looking at the pictures, here are the best . . . PP in ...

I like the balancing snail !

I also inherited a K1000 from my dad, to add to the one I already have. But I also inherited a Spotmatic :-) I had this serviced and cleaned, and found a Takumar 35mm lens in a charity shop for ...

I shot my cousin's wedding earlier this year, using my K5iiS. But my wife backed me up using my old *istD to great effect.

Yes, it was PEF format

Thanks Robert. I'm sure a less grey sky might have improved matters. I might try a BW version :-) Rod

Not earth shattering but OK for snaps . . . taken through glass . .

Thanks, it was taken in JPG and processed a little in Silkypix, but little to no sharpening. Cheers, Rod

Glad to hear it was set free safely - an experience, nice to see some shots too !

A recent shot from my local park, I don't remember which lens but could be my Sigma 135-400. Slightly cropped. Cheers, Rod

Rain approaching the Walkie-Talkie Thames by Night  - 2-shot panorama All taken with K5ii-S and kit lens  :-) Cheers, Rod

Good to see film being used :-) I intend taking my Spotmatic on holiday with BW film and a Tak 35mm lens . . . Cheers, Rod

Presume he spent some of that investing in his K1. Good choice . .

I have the Zenitar and it's a fine lens. But, you need to stop down (f8) to get decent edge sharpness so that could be a bit of a compromise for astrophotography. Personally I never used it for ...

Fantastic as ever :-)
