Recent heavy rain has backed up in my local lake and has made the old hire boat shed inaccessible. Same also for the jetties. K-3 and SMC Pentax-DA 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 ED AL[IF] DC WR.

I took delivery of my K3 + 18-50 last week. Grabbed a couple of shots of my horticultural endeavours, then went walkabout my locale over the sunny/overcast weekend. these were taken using AF mode, Aperture priority.

I have ordered a Adaptall 2 > Pentax adaptor, and will try my Tamron lenses on manual/focus peaking when possible.

thoughts/comments appreciated!

Good going, Al

Bored and playing with the DF 100mm macro I am quite impressed with it's close focus abilities, it's quite sharp. I still can't budge on my OM 50mm f/1.8 and extension tunes for macro though.

Rockin' the fair doing some testing. My DA*16-50mm started giving me some trouble so I bought a Sigma 17-50mm F2.8 to replace it. I use my DA 20-40 as well which does great!

All of these are at high ISO

After a very hot, dry summer with major wildfires; finally rain. Mushrooms popped up all over the yard, with 2" of rain in one day.

I took my trusty K3ii to Fort Erie Races on Sunday, the stewards very kindly let me sit in the seat at the end. Had a bit of excitement when one of the horses bucked and threw the jockey. Nobody was hurt and 3 seconds later they were off!
