I have the K-1 and a bunch of K-Mount lenses. None of these lenses are rare, but I figured I'd offer because it seems that many people are still waiting to receive the K-1 and some of you may wonder how the camera performs with certain lenses - especially DA lenses. If anyone wants to see photos taken with any of the lenses in my collection, let me know. Be specific with what type of picture(s) and camera setting you want. I will do my best to take post photos within a few days.

All the best!

Why dont you start with the DA15 - I would love to see how it performs on the K1. Thanks.

**beachgardener** · 05-19-2016, 01:52 AM

the 3 amigos, 18-135, 100 macro and the da 200.
thank you

Da 15, 35 ltds.

If you have it, the DA 20-40. At the 20mm end wide open. Thanks. :-)

I've taken 5 photos all at base ISO and wide open. Please excuse the scene. I took photos of the livingroom while watching the NBA playoffs. I also took photos at 5.6 and a set of photos with the 18-135 at 18mm, 50mm and 135mm, which I will upload as soon as I can figure out how.

Since I am not an expert at uploading to this forum:

The first photo is DA*200
Second photo FA77
Third photo FA43
Fourth photo FA31
Fifth photo DA15

These are the same photos at base ISO at 5.6

This set of photos was taken with the 18-135

First 18mm/3.5
Second 18mm/5.6
Third 53mm/4.5
Fourth 53mm/5.6
Fifth 135mm/5.6
Sixth 135mm/18

hey, thanks for that.

I was thinking of the 18-135 in crop mode instead. but interesting to see what happens otherwise.

Thank you so much. I am impressed with the DA15 - the distortion seems to be quite acceptable.

Neat idea Ralph.

I'd like to see shots done with any of your FA lenses. You're in NYC, it is still kinds spring.

Take the kids and the gear and go to Central Park this weekend. Pack a picnic basket. Spend the day. I bet you will make some great photos. Lots of flowers and trees, ducks, geese, birds, squirrels......

Maybe go to the zoo too. The zoo is always fun.

Oh.

And the city is loaded with really interesting older architecture too, eh?

I'm envious of the photographic subjects you have. All I have are mountains. And the Puget Sound. Oh yeah, and the Space Needle.
