Loving the Roki 85 and Live View Focusing

The DFA 24-70 is a treat - turns the K-1 into a casual point and shoot

Roki 14/2.8

More wonderful shots, everyone (special mention to Sagnik for the beautiful macros!) - and thanks Frederic (FS999) for your comment!

Yes, Dim, the 60-250 does great on K-1 and hits a great size/weight/performance point. I do wish there was some official modified (fully FF) rear baffle available for the lens. Surely it is not beyond Pentax service to offer this, I think a closer relationship with its customers would differentiate Pentax from it's competitors. Dragging around the 15-30, 24-70 and 70-200 is tiring after a while. And that doesn't even consider the 150-450!

When will someone make a quality FF 12-560mm f1.2 - f4 with a 49mm filter thread and weather sealing all under 500g?

A couple here from the 15-30.... after a slightly slow start from me I am starting to get the hang of this lens. Blue skies yesterday in Skye, Scotland. The first is a panorama (2 shots, but largely overlapped, the view after cropping is only a small amount wider than 15mm I think).

John

The first shot is fantastic! I like the composition (goog job on the Pano) and the PP. Really cool.

Wow, wonderful! Tamron 70-200mm is really great and you've been using it nicely.

I wouldn't try holding you breath waiting on that one.

Fine shots of Skye, enjoy your time up here.

There's nothing modern in the Highlands, even the latest broadband offerings behave like it's ancient.

Thanks for the kind comments, K-1 with a few weather-sealed lenses is a dream north of the border!

Heheh very true, I would like to thank the big local folk for cleaning up the fairy realm, last time I came there was loads of litter, I mean who drops litter in a fairy ring?

But the other day it was pristine.

A couple more from Staffin, on the trail of the fossilised dinosaur footprints at the slipway beach:

15-30 - the first one 2 shots (again a slight pano)

That's the spirit! I would note you can probably carry all that lot, plus the umbrella for less than the weight of the weather sealed zooms!

Looks like it's going to be drier the next few days ..... I can feel a prime day coming on myself!

Just local I think (had enough driving!). Might head to Dunvegan and swing by Neist Point if the wind drops a little. But it's a 'take it how it comes' day here.

Some very, very pretty pictures posted on this page, if you'll excuse the economy of general rather than individual praise.
