Singapore is a small place, not much natural environments to shoot, but its certainly the best place to be a Pentaxian.


The small size of the place makes it easy to meet up, and there is a monthly outing.

A shot from the M20/4 taken during the outing

Thinking of adding a Pentax 28mm to what I have.
Just need to make up my mind which one.



Some more from the Pentax outing for May over here.



M20/4, this is a gem of a lens to me.
So compact that its very easy to take along for any trip.
As if its a DA15ltd of FF (not the nice pointed sunburst though)
Also a lens that I feel that one uses Pentax for. (smallish and portable, at the right f-stop for what it does, instead of just spec sheet chasing)


Other shots with the Vivitar 55/2.8 macro.
Exploring a bit of textures.

I am inclined to recommend the M 28/3.5. It never failed me and I have huge prints from it used on film. I gave the lens to my daughter in law before I went digital so the Purple Fringing might be a problem with the older coatings. I am sure you can find samples with it in use on digital. One thing that was noticeable was the low distortion of the lens, particularly for a lens that I bought brand new for C$110. It wasn't as low in distortion as the K 28/3.5 shift lens, but that one cost about 10 times as much.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Yes, this lens is certainly up the ladder on the Pentax 28mm options.

Did not want to pass up on getting the only 50mm SLR lens that is of a Sonnar design.
