Win a Pentax Limited Lens: Raffle Now Live!

Nifty Fifty at local Benefit · 07:30 AM

A last minute decision saw my newest LBA hard at work during a benefit concert.

A lot were saved in processing (usually from underexposure) & it took me a while to get the focusing right on the manual lens but damn I was pretty happy with the results.

C&C would be very helpful for future shoots in this auditorium

Nice work Kristine .... so which 50 did you get?????
The old manual lenses are good fun to use.

It the SMC Pentax-A f1.4 that I got from the Market Place here. It arrived in near perfect condition, not even a dust bunny

It's a shame I didn't make it to the Chinese Gardens with the DSLR crew yesterday. I would've loved to have tried it out there

Nice ... the A50s are good-uns.
And you know from on these forums ... it's rare to get one in "average-to-bad condition".
All of the lenses I have purchased they have been in excellent condition.

I haven't been on DSLRusers in AAAAGGGGGEEESSSS.
I wish I could get the time ... but the bub is due in 7 weeks .... I really just haven't had the time at the moment.

Hey Kris,

Cool shots. Was that the pop up flash you used?

KrisK10D · 03-01-2009, 03:18 AM

Geee Simon... I didn't realise you had a bubs on the way. Good onya mate

Dale... I used a flash head mounted in the hotshoe. I'm looking to get the flash off the camera some time this year.

Yeah ... time flies ... not much longer now.
I'll be posting photos of bubs when he arrives.
