Thanks, Alex, for your comment & for looking. Much appreciated. Phil

Totally agree. Was quite frustrated trying to find it after I got my first large dust speck on the sensor ... Beats me why the eliminated something useful like that. Phil

I have the FA 50 1.4 and a couple of manual SMC's (M 1.7, A 2.0). The FA 50 1.4 is a solid, stopped down even excellent performer, and its soft rendering at f1.4 can actually be quite useful in ...

Thanks very much, Dale!  Glad you like them. :-) Phil

Well, no candles there among the thousands, but some light projectors ... :-) Thanks! Ah, those bags looked pretty wind proof to me - they were weighed down with sand. Rain would be more of a ...

Thanks all very much for your input on this - and especially Bob for sharing this problem and coming up with his most interesting "pine sap" solution! I do think that my K-1 is still under ...

Thanks! I had a K-1 with me - so the night had to be happy! ;-) No, seriously, it's very nice to have a camera with the low light capabilities of the K-1 with you - paired with a fast lens you can ...

Love 'em, especially the first two. Great pictures - and great examples for the multi exposure mode. Well done! Phil

NICE 1:1 crop - impressive! Thanks for sharing the series, Mike! Phil

Of course an option. Was hoping for something I could do myself. Thanks for your input! Phil

I recently have noticed that the flip-out screen of my K-1 has become sort of loose, making it a bit more difficult in handling: it follows the forces of gravity more than it used to (if my memory ...

The macro shots are really nice (like especially pic #4), but the contraption is simply awesome. :-) Hats off - and thanks for sharing! Phil

Nice collection, Mike - even color sorted! :-) I really do have to work on this - still using the original Pentax straps for all my bodies ... Phil

I actually got a used one in fond memories of its low ISO capabilities and good color rendering. Haven't used it much since then, but the few times I have it delivered very good daylight results. :-) ...

This year the town Siegen in Germany hosted their "Night Of The 1000 Lights" for the ninth time - and it was bigger then ever. Thousand of candles lined the streets in Siegen, a lot of live music ...

Your question is a bit - err - unspecific? All the same: I'd suggest to set focal length to 12mm, because AFAIK as a rule SR errors will be more pronounced if you specify a focal length longer then ...

Thanks very much, Dale! Phil

Thanks for the detailed explanation! Very interesting indeed. Maybe I will have the chance to try a refractor like that some time. Seems to be quite fascinating. :) Phil

My re-entry I'd say. But my ND's have slept a long time in my drawer indeed; only took them out last summer for a short tryout in Amsterdam. :-) Thanks! For some things indeed. Gives you more ...

You're absolutely right! But the pic of the K-01 was taken with the K-1 all the same. I didn't fire the K-01, I made it only look like it. Shutter of the K-1 was released with a IR remote in my ...
