The M Club!

Recercare · 10-05-2009, 04:04 PM

That's a great pic Marc.
During the last month I have bought the 135mm, 200mm and the 50mm F1.7.
I have not had the time to test the 135 and 200mm, but last Sunday I went out shooting with the 50mm F1.7 and I really like it.

Kind regards

Only a small amount of sharpening on this one:

I joined the M club this month. I bought an SMC M-135 1:3.5 from a fellow on Craigslist for 40$. I'm pretty happy with it.

I posted some pics from the Bluegrass concert on my facebook page and one of my professional photographer friends complimented me and asked if I had a pit-pass for photographers because the images came out so good. I was actually several rows back. That made me feel good and re-assured me that my choice of photo gear was worth the investment in time and money.

M 55 1:1.8 with extension tube....

Nice pictures SteveB. Could you please do me a favor and post a picture of your M 55 1:1.8? This is the second time recently I've seen this lens referred to and I didn't think there was a 55mm lens made in the M series. I'm thinking it's actually a K series lens but if I'm wrong and it's a M series I sure would like to see a pic of it.
Thank you.

Yeah, Steve, that's probably a K - if it says "SMC Pentax", it's a K, if it says "SMC-M", it's an M.

The K 55 1.8 is wonderful, congrats if that's what it is.

SteveB · 10-10-2009, 07:46 AM

Here's the pics of the lens on Panagor tubes. No letter = K then, never mind.

Here's another piccy..

Here's one from the M28/2.8 taken for World Pentax Day:

K200D, M28/2.8, f/8, 1/30", ISO 200

No PP on this one except to crop out a corner of a building that I inadvertently included in the frame. In particular, that's the "color", such as it was, straight from the camera.

Wow.

Some great shots here Recercare, Steve, Dragonfly and Marc.

Steve you'll have to become a member of the K Club with that K 55/1.8.

Marc nice atmospheric image there. I've got to use my Ms more often.

I purchased the SMC-M 200mm F4 a few weeks ago but I have not had the time to test it before last weekend.

I am quite happy with it so far

On following picture I added a bit softness and noise for artistic reasons:

Kind regards

Great pictures with the M 200mm! I was weary of purchasing this lens, but these images are making me reconsider!

Anyone have images with the M 150mm F/3.5?

Yes, very nice, Lars. The M 200 f/4 was one of the first M's I owned. Nice job.

Re the M 150 3.5 - I think Tom G has some images from that baby, IIRC.
