| Building Materials
Corrugated iron was patented in 1828 and used extensively in the traditional construction of roofs in Scotland, the French however...  Well right up until 1981, built vehicles from it...  This one has been recycled from 1964, to IMHO something far more useful than a panel van.   | |

| Originally posted by ivanvernon I believe the Kiron and Dine 105mm lenses have the same optics, but slightly different bodies. It is nice to have 1:1 macro though my flower photography seldom calls for it. Anyway, you have inspired me to do a walk around the flower garden with the K-1 and the Kiron flavor of this classic macro lens. There was still rather too much of midday sun for best results, but here goes anyway. Kiron / Lester A. Dine 105mm f2.8 Macro Lens Reviews - Miscellaneous Lenses - Pentax Lens Review Database I also shot my photos in midday sun. I don't thing this lens cares one bit what time of day you use it. It just delivers beautiful results, as displayed by your pics. | |

| Originally posted by richard0170 Coincidentally as the 500th page approaches, I have spent some time over the last few days looking at the first 100 pages of his thread. I mean to look at the rest in the near future. Why? Because since the purchase of my 70mm Ltd, LBA seems to be deserting me and I have been seeking inspiration to re-invigorate it. So far nothing is really pulling the heart strings. The 21mm Ltd is tempting, but I am not really a WA kind of guy. Not seen any images from 3 lenses I might be interested in - K28 f3.5, K30mm f2.8 and Voigtlander 40mm SL2. However I have been inspired to break out the K 55mm f1.8 when I get back off holiday in just over week's time. That lens really got me to appreciate the K colour rendition. can't help with any of those three lenses, Richard - I only have two 28mm lenses (not one of my favorite focal lengths).... I do have a K35mm f2 that needs a good stretching, as I've never Singled with it.... the Voigtlander 40mm has always held some interest for me, just because it's an outlier (of sorts), but pricing has usually left me a bit cold on them... back to the DA21 Limited, however.... it is a special lens with quite a bit of pixie dust packed in that tiny frame.... | |

| K-3 with DA 21mm f3.2 AL Limited    for me, the 21 Limited isn't just about the width, it makes the camera a point and shoot rather than a DSLR.... | |

I am tempted by the 21mm as it would complete a collection of Ltd primes, but I fear I would not use it much as I am not really into wide angles. The 15mm does not see much use. The K 28 f3.5 and 30mm would be just a pure luxury buy, as I already have the F 28mm f2.8. I do not think I would see much difference in performance between any of these 3 lenses. So none of these lenses are justifiable to me at present. I can make a case for each of them, but I am not persuaded. Never mind I still have another 300 pagesn (I will stop at page 400) of thread to explore. Something might crop up and call out to me, | |
