You probably need to use the [imgwide] tag.

Pentax K20D
SMC-A 35-105/3.5

pschlute · 03-24-2009, 05:23 AM

Wonderful shot Mike.

StevenVH · 03-26-2009, 07:43 PM

Yeah, another nice one Mike.

I'm bumpin' the A Club with a cat shot...sorry. It's been grey and rainy and I'm reduced to flowers and cats at home right now. I realized I hadn't played with my own 35-105 in awhile, so I took it for a walk this afternoon. It's truly a wonderful lens. It's a joy to use and sharpness, color and bokeh are right on IMO.

ISO400 1/15s @100mm @F4.5

I've been learning to pano in PSE 7 and I came up with this example. K20D and A 24mm f/2.8.

Thanks for the heads up Steven.

I've bought a 50mm f1.7 A series lens to take nice portraits of the kids, after reading a few threads like this one, and I've been amazed at the difference in the photos that I've got to the kit lens.

Here is one example, with a 100% crop to show what I mean.

I'm amazed at the colour, contrast and ease of use of this lens on the K10. It's really changed my views on what lenses I'll try to get hold of. I've ordered a split prism focus screen to help with the manual focus, and have just bought an M series 135mm lens to try out as well.

Best Wishes to all in the 'A club',

Nick.

Just taken a few shots with my A300mmF4 of redtailed Hawk Mar 28 (at Lynde Shore, Ontario a few hours ago )

Still not used to taking bif image with this manual focus old lens
(300mmF4) after this harsh winter

At least it is a good start of the birdie season

Here's my input to the club. Taken with the A* 85mm at f1.8, right after sunrise.

Nice shots with that A* 300mm Daniel. I find raptors endlessly fascinating. I’ve yet to get a really good shot of one. A bit on the feral side but that is just part of the story.
