Nice series! I find the tactile experience of old, manual lens very enjoyable. Matt

Pentax’s screw-driven lenses are indeed slow compared to the lenses with focus motor in the lens. And I will say that the 77/1.8 is even slower than most of my other screw-driven Pentax lenses. ...

I just bought this lens about 3 weeks ago after pining for it for about 15 years, and it is stunning, especially on my Pentax full frame body. It’s an "old school" lens with loads of character and ...

This classic, forty-year-old lens has a good reputation in Pentax circles. I’ve even been pretty happy with it on my full-frame Pentax body, but it really shines on APS-C where the corners and ...

Might verify that you’re running the latest firmware for the camera. matt
-
The current prices are expensive, but they are not out of line with comparable quality full-frame lenses from other camera makers. In fact, not out of line with many aps-c lenses of similar quality. ...

The K-5 or K-5ii — among the best sensors to this day. Great dynamic range and low noise in a relatively small body.

Thanks, SigmaChrome. These little miniature landscapes fascinate me, especially those like #3, where there’s such graceful symmetry and curves. These are all photos of weeds, vines, and seedpods ...

...of the Mississippi River in Memphis, Tenn. with the XF60/2.4 on the x-t20.

Forgot to mention that I justed added the Meike Grip to my x-t20 and it noticeably improves handling. In the US, it sells for about $36.00, fits very well, and is nicely made.

The x-t20 remains a very fine camera. I love mine. The marketing machines and "newer is better" ethos of gear forums often eclipse the fact that many generational improvements are incremental. ...

Over the past months, I’ve found the opposite. Covid has pushed me out to phtograph a great deal more than usual — always in isolated, natural places like the forest or along the Mississippi ...

I had similar problem w/ my fa31; KEH.COM did great with it. Details in this thread. https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/64629699 l’d use them again anytime. Matt

Preference for camera/lens size and balance become complex. I use a mirrorless Fuji aps-c camera with a full kit of lens alongside my Pentax K-1. Of course, as the link to camera size/weight site ...

My friends already know how to make good photos with their Sony’s and Zeiss lenses. The issue is that they’ve invested $10,000 in the system and don’t see anything substantially better in terms of ...

Well, the DA70/2.4 works great on the full-frame sensor at 36 megapixels. What other DA lenses do you already own?
-
I went from the K-5 (wonderful camera) to the K-1 when the K-1 was released. It is an exquisite camera with great dynamic range, build quality, and resolution. It is chunkier in the hand but it’s ...

Then I’m tending to fall in with the nervous-bokeh explanation. Some fine strands of foliage crossing the frame. Matt
