What a wonderful landscape capture. That K-1 series is just about the best landscape camera body out there today. In addition, that lens has a very good reputation also. However, this is a case

where the shooter's skillset mostly comes into play. Excellent work and many thanks for sharing.

A fantastic image captured by a bargain-priced lens. What could be better? Well done Geoff!

Excellent photo with great contrast.

It's a nice lens that works great on any Pentax camera. I've used it with K10D and Program A with favourable results.
