With my film KX the lens kit was those two plus the K 55/1.8. All three were fine lenses. Nice work with the new toy.

great set of shots.

M50/1.4 wide-open.

Love this lens:

[Jorgario]

I bought a Pentax leather bag very good price and it came with a K1000 and an M50mm f2. I went to the park yesterday and play with this lens, though I have the 1.7 and 1.4 ... In fact, there a very few cases when you really need 1.7 or 1.4 ...

Very nice sharpness and bokeh in your photo, Jorgario. I love bronze sculptures. Last week, I had the good fortune to visit a park on the Snake River about 25 miles from my home and took this shot with a Sears 28mm, f:2.8 macro-focusing manual lens. Other than some basic test shots right after I bought it, it's the only time I've used it.

I hate that the yellow streak was in the background. It's very distracting. I tried to remove it in Photoshop with terrible results! In your photo, I'll bet you wished you could remove the light pole in the background, as well.

Thanks, Dewman ...

You got a beautifull and sharp image as well ... You got an interesting repetead sculpture bokeh with your green trees and blue sky ... But the yellow (no passing line, I guess) it is disturbing ... Perhaps recomposing your picture in order to have your repetead sculpture bokeh more on the left can help your picture ... You have an excuse to return to your park, after all 25 milles is not that mouch to take a nice picture ...

Cheers, Jorgario.

I was not really disturbed by this (flag) pole and it was difficult to get rid of because I had two of these and I tried to recompose in order to have a sky convergence points but in the following picture:



This last one was taken with the M 50mm f1.4

An excellent, ingenious solution to the slight problem with the poles! Great job, my man! Good composition, too. The yellow gizmo in my photo really bothered me, so I made it "go away." You can tell that I tinkered with it, but at least your eyes aren't immediately drawn away from the subject like before!

great set of shots.

If you are in Sydney you might have already know it, sunset today was fantastic, I only caught the last bit of it. M28 f2.8

As you demonstrate, 28mm works really well as a walk around FL on APS-C. Some years ago, I had the FA28 and stupidly sold it when I bought the DA21. Now I have both the M and K 28/3.5s, and you could just about do a whole trip just with either of them.

It is indeed great fun, I already have a F28 f2.8 and FA31 Limited, but the Single challenge with this little M28 2.8 really bonded me with the FL, if Pentax ever bring out a digital FF the first lens I am going to slap on it and run out of the door will be my FA43Limited, if you see what I mean

I love shooting with these wide/normal FL for street so much that I just bought a Sigma AF 24 f2.8II on ebay like 2 hours ago, hopefully it comes in in time for August, I wanna see if I can live with the classic 35mm equivalent FL.

A little something for my Single Challenge today, again with M28 f2.8

M28 f2.8, colour this time
