Took the K-1 to the Cemetery last night for it's baptism under the night sky.... K 50/1.2 at f2.8

Amazingly, the K-1 lens light was quite useful for seeing the lens aperture on my K lenses. (I had to work fast as I was in a country cemetery by myself.... with only so much courage ....15 minutes worth as it turned out.... a good ceremony is a quick ceremony anyhow...)

MMm I'm shooting my full frame too SMC Pentax 24mm f2.8 + Fuji Pro 400H in my K1(000)





More of a fan of Portra 400 than Pro 400H

[monochrome]

Stuffed the 400 in my backpack for the last game of the season of the Lacrosee team my son coaches. At 100 yards from spectator seating I was actually able to focus at f/11 stopped down (once I had exposure I didn't want to count clicks). Big, Big, bright viewfinder. IIRC this is the first viewfinder-focused shot I've had with this lens that was close to sharp (K-3 VF is just too dim). 60% crop with the upper left corner anchored.

M Mode: 1/2000, f/11, 3200 ISO

K50mm f1.2 at 1.2:



I used an LX aperture priority and XP2.

SMC K30mm, no idea what aperture - straight out of camera, absolutely love the colours this lens produces

Isn't it just awesome?

Isn't it just awesome?

ah.... left my run at a 20mm a bit late...... so expensive and hard to come by now!

I think if I had a 20mm I would be complete as a person and LBA would be extinguished....

I have far, far too many lenses - I'm gorged on MF lenses - but I ponied up for an A20 last year. It's tough even with this viewfinder ;

I'm bating about 50/50 with viewfinder and LV...... flippy screen is fab..... I'll get a 20 soon enough..... just need to recover from the K-1 associated spending....really loving the 50 on the K-1

The K85/1.8.....

[noelpolar]

I was very disappointed with my K 200/4 on the K-1 today. It failed to resolve one of the Seagull's legs. Seems some of those reviewers were right about legacy glass after all.....you do miss out on some detail.



It did mange to resolve a dirty dog face though....
