(I'm using this lense in the Single in September challenge, so I'm shooting more than normal with one lense)





and pondering the purchase of an UWA - any thoughts on DA 14 vs Sigma 14?

I agree with Clackers on this. Most dictionaries agree too. PB is free to do what he likes though and has plenty of company.

since it seems to be a distraction, perhaps I can amend my ways....


"lens"..... man, that feels weird...



back to the question at hand: DA 14 vs Sigma 14?

Great now I want cookies. Personally I would pick the DA 15. Much smaller and easier to handle.

K-50 with SMC 300mm f4

the infamous K 300mm f4; I've been struggling with this lens.... its lack of tripod collar and fringing if you aren't careful with light...

I solved the tripod collar issue with a purchase from eBay (JJC TR-3 tripod collar, $12.99):








it's balanced nicely with caveat: the only tripod collar I could find that fit well, will only fit over the aperture ring... so I must really think ahead before I mount the lens in the collar...

works nicely on a monopod or tripod:





still some fringing; I'm working on that in post (still learning how to correct it)....
