A couple with my cheapo FA 80-320, not bad up to 200mm, pretty terrible and good only for web-scaled images after that but for 70$ i guess i can't complain :P

Xposting these from my social group thread after a day on the kayak. All posted images were taken with the FA 28-105 f/4-5.6 (IF). Some are cropped. Else resized sooc jpegs.

I've been shooting the blossoms on our Magnolia, throwing my best lenses (Adaptall 180/3.5, FA*200/4, A*135/1.8, FA*300/2.8, Sigma 18-35/1.5) at it--figuratively speaking, of course ;~) Today, I figured I'd give the FA 20-35/4 a shot. Seems to me it held its own--maybe required a bit more sharpening, but not much.

FA50/2.8

Some action at an historic gr.C race with 80-320. Probably it's my copy but above 180-200mm i had to stop it down to f13 to get decent sharpness. Resizing hurts a bit, if you look at full size the result is not terrible...but sooner or later i'll buy a decent tele-zoom...

However, AF.C with K-3 seemed to work really well, even if i never tried the supposedly miles-ahead competition

I haven't posted at Pentax Forums in a while, and the links to my old soft-focus lens shots have stopped working (my fault, changed hosting services).
So, here are some pictures I took in Maui with my FA Soft 85mm f2.8:

Here's a link to the rest if you find these interesting:

Also, I wrote a blog about how I took these pictures:

It's nice to see these threads filled with so much fantastic new work!
Thanks to everyone in the Pentax community for keeping this wonderful site going.

Just acquired a FA 35mm f/2 this weekend, and while walking the dog, I brought it with me, and I took 5 shots handheld to make this HDR in Photomatix

However, the people on Bicycles are a bit ghosted because they moved... but apart from that, this is not bad at all!

I like the field of view (this was cropped a little bit) !
