I know, I'm getting obsessed with these birds but I'm having fun.

Wonderful shots, Tom. Like the color and sharpness. Thanks for posting these-will inspire me to wok my 300 more to try and achieve something close to these-has been cloudy/rainy here for the past 3-4 days-it figures as I was on vacation.

Thanks again

Nick

Thanks Nick,

The old K 300 is a lot of fun. It takes a little more effort than a modern lens but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I look forward to seeing your K 300 shots soon.

Here are some shots from yesterday with my K85 F1.8, what a lens!! All images was taken with F2.8 to F4, super sharp at F4

Regards,

Just about to rain on a grey overcast day here in Waterloo. I managed a few shots before the showers.

This one had a Secret Garden feel about it.

and in the ditch

some interesting weeds.

A few weeks ago I got a K50/1.2. Sent it to Eric for a once-over (I considered that a good investment) and here are two from this afternoon - IKE is on the way and the light was chalenging. #1 is unaltered except resize. #2 adjusted levels in Photoshop Elements - but I think I did a hamhanded job. I like the fact that the PEF's are still around to work on later.

#1 K50/1.2 f/1.2

#2 K50/1.2 f/8 levels adjusted

Nice! Actually, that's not a T-34; can't be positive from the tight crop, but I believe it's a T-55 (sorry for the nitpick, I'm a tank geek as well as a photography geek

)

OK 24x36now - thanks for the heads up on that one. My mistake.

It's still a pretty cool lawn ornament in spite of the rust.

OK guys,
so here's my ticket to this one.
I took it for a walk to Richmodn park in London, and since this chap didn't mind me at all I managed to handheld the combo to get this nice snap:

You must have very steady hand Axl. I've given up trying to handhold my K 300mm and yet you manage this with a 400mm!!! Well done.

Hi all,

I caught up to the finches again today. They have changed from their bright yellow to a more muted fall colouration. All images Pentax k10, SMC Pentax 300mm f4, ISO 100.

Cheers

Hi all,

Just back from freezing to death at the Girl's Field Hockey game. Temp was close to 0 (32 F) with a few flurries. The K10 shake reduction sure got a work out today.

I used the K 200 2.5 for most of the shots. Here's a few:
