I have set myself a challenge to use all of my full-frame lenses on the K-1 and
I invite other K-1 owners to join me by posting in this thread. Starting with the widest lens and going to the longest, I intend to post one photo from each lens that demonstrates what special characteristic each offers, and makes me think about why I have each. I doubt if I can post a shot every day, so it might take a little while to get through the lot (I think I have about 15 combinations), but no doubt there will be others that will set off on the journey and show what they have.
My "rules" are:
- Photo has to be taken with a K-1
- Photo has to be taken with a full frame lens ie one with an image circle for a 35mm sensor
- Shots taken with a teleconverter count as a separate lens
- One shot only for each lens (so find that really special shot and make it count)
- Make sure you tell us what lens you are using.
I hope that others will join me in the quest.
My first shot is with a Sigma 20-40 f2.8 DG EX lens of Brisbane city last night. This is my widest lens at the moment, and I am aspiring to the Pentax 15-30 when enough fun-tickets are collected. Settings: Focal length 23mm, ISO 4000, f8, 1/8th, -1EV, hand-held. I bought this lens back in 2007, shortly after I bought my K10D. It was the first lens I acquired after the two kit lenses that came with the camera. Little did I know at that time that it would perfectly match with the future K-1.
