Heres a couple I took with my M135 3.5. Two pictures of very opposite content.

1. This is cropped and sharpened a little.Seems focus is more on the lower leaves and bud than on the main subject.

2. AMENDED PHOTO : here is replacemnt photo for previous wrong download.

Both nice pictures, but the second doesn't seem like it possibly could have been taken with a 135mm lens?

Gorgeous pictures and gorgeous dogs.

Well done.

Hi all,

Another chilly day in Waterloo but I felt to need to shoot something.

Got a couple of doves or pigeons. They were the only thing that would sit still long enough to make an image.

OOPS! my mistake, your right of course that was not the 135. Red Face

I will replace it. Thanks for the heads up!

Thank you Peter! This is my first dSLR and I have it for less than 2 months so I have a lot to learn yet. But sure I'm having great time with the M lenses.

Lately, I've thought I kind of want to replace all of my lenses the M series.

Seeing the M series are cheaper, nicer glass, and better built, I would love to have all my lenses the M series, but I think I would miss being able to use Av, Tv, TAv mode, etc.

What do you guys think? I would love to have a 16-45mm or 16-50mm in replace of my 18-55mm and 50-200mm, so if anyone wants to trade, send me a PM.

8540tomg · 03-02-2009, 06:22 PM

I hear you Isaac.

I don't want to trade but if you want a a more modern lens go for it. I only have one "modern" lens the DA 70. It is a fine lens. You can see from my signature I've got a lot of old glass. They are fine optics but every now and then the simpler life looks pretty good to me. My next purchase will probably be a DA* 16-50. Time to get into the new century.

Still going to hang on to the old glass though.

Yesterday I brought my camera at work and I was lucky enough that we had a wonderful sunset.

Here 3 shots using M 28mm 2.8. The stats on Lightroom shows me that I'm using this lens more than 50mm 1.7 to my surprise. I'm really loving this little gem.

Cheers,
Felipe

IsaacSteiner · 03-03-2009, 12:23 PM

Today I went and traded my Pentax DA 50-200mm for a Pentax-M 28mm F2.8

So far I'm loving the 28mm. Now my collection has more M series than DA

Absolutely stunning pictures here! Mines is also the SMC-M 28mm 2.8. This one is taken at ISO200, f8.

Awesome M 28 2.8 shots!

Here are a few of mine, I always thought this lens got overlooked:

losecontrol · 03-04-2009, 12:46 AM

that's a very hectic bokeh....but I like it!

IainG · 03-04-2009, 01:33 AM

I've got to agree, the SMC-M 28mm f2.8 is a very underrated lens. I've also got the SMC-A 28mm, but the contrast from the M seems better, maybe it's just the copy I've got.

This one is taken with another favourite of mine, the SMC-A 16mm f2.8. A gem of a lens.
