Pentax K-1 and various lenses

I was the only Pentax shooter there. Tamron had a few Pentax Lenses to loan out, but most were for crop sensor. The only FF lenses were a 90mm Macro and a 28-300 (I already have this lens and The Pentax 100mm WR f/2.8 Macro).

Pixelshifted Abalone

Really nice aquarium shots -better than my last attempt at shooting something behind glass.

Shadows and clouds work really well in this shot!

Nice shot-can't go wrong shooting from that perspective.

Thanks. It was my 3rd or 4th time doing the photographer's night there. This time I had the best glass I could have, and much more experience shooting and processing, and my keep rate was still only about 10%. Shooting through thick acrylic (some of it curved) in dim light is tough.

Beautiful flower images. You've mastered the A*200 and have it performing exceptionally.
Thanks for sharing,

Spectacular photos. Glass isn't easy to shoot thru.

First outing with the Pentax A series 70-210 f4 zoom on K-1. Looks decent, especially for an older zoom. This was shot at 210mm not 150 as stated in exif data. Was comparing it to the Pentax A*200 macro and had to be able to id lenses. Camera was on tripod with SR off.
Thanks for looking,

This is one things that makes Glacier NP such a great place for landscape photography: there's often clouds there, especially on the east side.

Thanks -- I agree about the perspective being a no-brainer.

Nice work with 70-210. I bought the lens last year and used it for a few months on K-1. What I found most impressive with the lens is that fact that the sharpness of the lens, at least if you stopped the thing down, was pretty good throughout its entire focal range all the way to the corners on FF. My copy wasn't quite DFA sharp, but it was reasonably good nonetheless and reallly did appreciate the consistency of performance of the lens. The telephoto zoom lens I'm using now, the FA-J 75-300, while it may be a little sharper in its sweet spot than the A 70-210, can be significantly worse outside that sweet spot, so I have to be very careful what focal lengths I shoot at with that lens.

Here's an image of Mount Gould in Glacier NP shot with the DFA 28-105:
