I was about to lower my offer on the 12-24. BTW, you need to email or call me to work out details.

I am late to the party. Few shots from New Zealand Colomandel Walkway hiking trail. You see stretches of coast line and beaches along the hiking trail and the funny part is that my wife and I were the persons there the whole time alone in 4.5 hours of hiking. All were taken with Pentax K-x White and Pentax DA 15mm f/4.0 limited

Nice. Take me home. The road going up to where you took those has to be one of the better ones (scenery-wise) on the planet.

I want to catch more big fat snapper in the middle of the Hauraki gulf (between Auckland and Coromandel peninsula, and have them freshly pan fried.

Good work.

Thank you so much. That means a whole lot to me. NZ is simply beautiful and it has scenic places that are waiting for any Pentaxian to explore. It is NOT the photographer, not the camera and not the lens that take those beautiful scenic shots. It is the scenes that dictate the beauty. The 15mm makes it easier.

Warmest,
Hin

You are very welcome - I would say that you are exactly the visitor to NZ I personally like to see! I'm glad you found some of the nicer "roads less travelled".

I hope other Kiwis on this forum can manage to provide some more samples. I'd post some other images here, but they aren't from the lens in question!

Hopefully next week I can post some examples from another beach/coast I'll have the pleasure of visiting (though not in NZ this time).

Ok I need to get one. You all have convinced me!

Hello_Photo · 07-26-2010, 09:33 AM

TOUGEFC, The colours on your lens look a little different than jsherman's:

Are you messing with my head, or just the saturation sliders on the green and blue colour channels in that image?

deadwolfbones · 07-26-2010, 10:23 AM

99.999999999999% sure he just desaturated it.

Thats what I have been telling other Aussies... B&H rocks and prices are wonderful to boot.

All my lenses bar a replacement purchased in OZ have all come from there.

Fantastic service

TOUGEFC · 07-26-2010, 12:52 PM

Yeah i removed some colours Hello Photo.

I went out hiking with some visiting family yesterday in the foothills of the Rockies not too far from my house (I *love* the county open space parks where I live). I debated between taking just my 18-55II for simplicity versus my usual bag of primes, and the bag of primes won out. Turns out I needn't have worried about taking time to change lenses - the DA15 never left my camera. Next time I'll probably just do that.

BTW, that's not a dust spot in the picture above, but a bird.

At one point, I saw my nephew (above) leaping across the rocks, but not in time to shoot. So I asked to make the jump again. Luckily his mother was not within sight. It took four takes to get this:

My wife took this one of me:

Thanks for the kind comments, Matt and Duc, glad you liked them!

Marc, great hiking range you have there, mate! Wish I had anything like that close to home...
