Flowers are starting to Bloom in Iowa..K 200 2.5 ....F6.7 I wonder if the DA* 200 is this sharp?

Flowers are starting to Bloom

Ha, speaking of flowers, here's an unusual combination for y'all: K20/4 and Canon 500D. I've less than ten snaps with that lens (still waiting on a hood, to ensure an honest evaluation) but I have to say, the colors aren't bad...

Beautiful. Just think how much better that picture would look using a genuine Pentax camera

Ha, those Canon shooters are getting a bad rep for butchering all "our" legacy glass--rest assured, no lenses were hurt during filming!
(The Canon 500D is a +2 diopter like the Raynox 250...I usually use it on the K135 2.5, but wanted to see if it would give me any "wide angle macro" options on the new lens.)


At any rate, I'm looking forward to seeing what the K20/4 can do as a dedicated landscape lens--I can already tell it's going to be hard for me to get it focused as a "walk around" option, but I have high hopes of what it can do on a tripod and "hyperfocal."

Indoor High School concert event with the K 200 2.5....not too shabby other than the hand motion blur....

I don't normally post pet photos but I liked this one and was pleased I nailed the focus on the eyes. Pentax K-3, SMC Pentax 'K' 85mm f/1.8.

Bear in the woods with a K20D and K400 f/5.6.

That's a great moment...I'd hazard a guess that a marmot or some other ground squirrel has found itself on the menu.

Lovely Sharpness!

Really like the framing on this

Beautiful Bokeh with the K85

First shot with the 20mm f4. Did a few quick ones to test it out. Not bad. I plan to use for landscapes. First K lens! Uploaded from the jpeg card.
