The main monestary was visible in the background. Van der laans particular proportional system makes his work instantly recognizable. The monks building is clearly by someone else. Sorry to hijack ...

is this a monestary by Hans van der Laan? (Architect) Looks like it but he only designed the one in Tomelilla which I thought is for nuns? You should try to get access to more of his buildings if ...

Felts, all than happens is that the small areas covered by moving cars will have a slight decrease in resolution and increase in noise. It won't detract from the improvements in the vast areas of...

Nice drop :)

From what I've seen the difference between straight and rounded blades are negligible for most lenses. See smc vs hd limited tests at pentaxforums.com which is the most direct comparisons I know as...

Has been said before, its like a Pentax but mirrorless. Has the great sandpaper finish of the Ricoh gr as well.

Good. Now Pentax can stay true to the pentaprism and continue to leave mirrorless...

The sound of Pentax screw drive lenses vary greatly. Some are loud (da 50/1.8) others rather quiet. It will be interesting to see if the new barrel improves the acoustics. I don't know how the...

The samples really have that beautiful Pentax HD coating look recognizable from other lenses. The 11-18 seems even more "clear" for lack of better word.

From that city/landscape image you can tell...

Adam Maas why do you think it doesn't come close the the Canon 35/2 IS? Looks pretty close judging from these reviews or am I picking the wrong...

I think it's a great camera. The lens and handling are exceptional. It excels for quickly capturing moments if kept in an accessible pocket. Just ensure shutters speed is fast enough to counter ...

Those two tools are excellent in combination. Not only effective but quick and easy to use!

That sounds quite strange to me. If you set the exposure correctly you should have more detail in the dark tones with the contrasty lens. Your default camera/raw software settings might however be ...

I have the hd da 15mm ltd which due to the wide angle and the HD coating tend to result in very high contrast images. Supposedly it's because the coatings are better. You can't add contrast via ...

AF on the sensor doesn't come for free as we've seen with the banding issues. Sensors without them might be difficult to source but I'd rather have sensors without banding.

I've never been but I know of St Marys church in Whity wich has a curious arrangement of box pews. The church interior is a bit like a mini city with separate walled in pews per family if i recall ...

I've been thinking along the same lines as the author for quite some time. I will however never own a Leica. I don't aspire to owning one at all.

I do like their ideas.

Looks more like your typical power tool. A cordless drill or something. That kind of tool always have this aesthetic these days.

Something does get lost in these very slick images. It feels as if the photographs don't really tell you much about the wildlife in them. The aesthetics overwhelm.

One trick to get better at judging distance is to set the back button af so that it shows the distance scale. I have my camera setup in MY2 so that the shutter button has Multi AF, the back button ...

All my four most recent cameras (ie since 2006) have come with a cover, is that unusual?
