Aye he'd spotted "The Kerrowdown" working away at the scene.

It's interesting to read everyones take on an image, so far some quite different interpretations.

And a potential Imelda Marcos in the making here?

Hey, I need some warm boots, everyone knows we have extremely cold temps down here in south Texas. Snicker snicker.....

I thought you needed 'em to keep out the dust, sand and snakes... in that order.

That and I wanna look cool whilst I am trying to figure out what I accidentally set wrong on the Q7, lol.

Your not needing boots to look cool... when you already are.

Didn't think there was that much to twiddle with on a Q7.

First I atempt to put the viewfinder to my eye.... Stop laughing everyone, then after I recover from that I proceed to front dial it like it's a K3..... Then I managed to set it to tav and I had to get the manual and search the forum to put it back into reg manual mode. Ok laugh everyone, it's funny but boots would make it all better. I should be happy that other photographers are not around to record my looks of confusion with my 'Susie' Q.

The A series lenses have some gems amongst them and if you find them cheap, get therm. I use a 70-210 A series macro zoom SMC which, so long as you use a tripod and stop it down to f8-11 produces results so sharp it avoids changing prime lenses and missing shots as a result .. I have an M series 135mm f3.5 which also behaves very well ... I even gave a Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f3.5 a run out on my K-1 the other day and .... well, the results are lovely. There are some lovely new lenses but, a bit like vinyl never really dying, some old lenses have a certain something you can't put your finger on .. they may not be as sharp as some newer primes and may have a few kinks but ... they can produce some lovely results
