the only scuffs I can find are on the hotshoe contacts.... perhaps it was a demo rig?

it is... thank you; I'm going to use it with AF lenses for a couple of weeks to get comfortable with it, then the M42 adapter goes on...

Hi Dave

You'll be able to compare the 2 cameras as well........real world ..not review biases
You might swap purposes of the cameras

Ha, I was just looking at the guide on how to shoot with M42 lenses. It looks like a real pain, to me. I'm just not as sharp as I used to be. I can't even figure out how to attach a photo to my threads. I get close, but just can't get it done. Finally, is the K5 IIS a nice upgrade for you?

where are you storing your photos, Terry? flickr or another cloud-based service, or to the Galleries here?

the K-5 IIs is actually a step back for me, as I've been shooting a K-3 as my primary body for almost three years....

I just started using the Gallery here, but I save to my desktop until I get flicker set up. So when trying to upload to a post, my picture will be on my desktop. I get it uploaded, but it just won't finish and get added to my post. Also, I put another cotton picture in my gallery, taken with my FA 77mm.

Three dahlia shots from my neighbor Saman's garden. Canon FL 55mm 1.2 remounted for Pentax. Just as a note, these photos look much better if clicked. max size from flickr for the BBC code leaves a lot to be desired.

at 2.8

at 1.2 (I think)

timw4mail · 10-08-2018, 04:18 PM

@pepperberry farm;, do you know how much difference there is between the 40mm limited and the XS? I assume the packaging is the only real difference.
