Thanks. The stitching was done in Lightroom 6. Here's another panorama, this time from Hidden Lake Overlook in Glacier NP, also shot with DA 21 and stitched in Lightroom:

Very Nice. I've had the DA21, DA15 and now on the hunt for something else (probably the DA20-40). Your results are very impressive, I never felt my DA21 and 15 were that sharp, tho if you pixelshift with these lenses I think they shine significantly better.
And yeah I try a few different softwares for stitching, LR, PS and ICE, they all provide different results, sometimes one application just does that certain stitch better that one time than others, and next time it will be a different software that does better job. hehe.

Anyway, looking for example works of the DA 20-40 on a KP so if you have any throw them at me!

My experience with the DA 15 and DA 21 is a bit different. I find them quite sharp, except toward the edges and longer distance (this is especially true of the DA 15). I manually focus these two lenses and stop them down as well.

Yes, we'd all like to see samples of that! I don't own the DA 20-40, but I've always been intrigued by it.

Of course my first test shot with the new HD DA 35/2.8 Macro was a Lego shot

Minimal processing done here, zero sharpening, zero clarity boosting, just some exposure tweaking and vignetting.
Pentax KP, 1/20th, f2.8, ISO 400

Love the colors on the DA 35 Ltd shots! It's obviously an amazing lens. Since we seem to be doing DA 35 Ltd shots, here's non-macro shot of the so-called Garden Wall in Glacier NP:

This is a very interesting thread and I am looking for wildlife shots taken with it (KP) and the DA*300/4 … anyone here posted this sort of shots?
((Can't find any … yet)).
Cheers!

Anyone had a go at some landscape astrophotography? I'm currently shooting the K5, and must admit I'm looking for something that tackles higher ISO a little better for that kind of work.

Taken with the DA 18-135. I should go out and try some landscapes with the DA 35 =)
