That makes two of us.

Kris.

Great Kris, always fun when the same lens appears on opposite sides of the world, summer vs winter let's see how we go

I love the 18-135 WR on the LP, but using a zoom made me lazy, so it's the KP and my beloved DA 40mm XS. I haven't used this combo for SIC, but I am sure I will enjoy it.

I’m back in this month. I’ve certainly missed doing, especially when I see everyone’s photos while lurking. The K3 iii is on order after months of internal debate. I’ll go with the DA 50-135. It is a great lens and I am assuming that it will take advantage of the K3 iii. So, let’s see if I can make it through the whole month.

I took some shots with M35/2 today, so I guess I'm in, but I won't give any guarentees on my level of performance. I just try to have some fun with M35/2 and reconnect with it.

I had planned on using the Tamron 17-35, but messed around with it a little on Sunday it I just wasn't feeling it. When I was leaving for work this morning, I still hadn't decided on a lens and at the last minute I panicked and grabbed the SMC 85mm f1.8. So that's this months lens.

I finally settled on the M 85/2 so it will be interesting to compare.

In the end I went with the 100mm macro. Hopefully the rain will stop and we will dry out enough for me to get out and commune with nature. It was the reason why I bought the lens.

Just a heads up - tomorrow might be a bust - the root canal failed and the tooth is scheduled for eviction at 8:30am. It didn’t even last long enough for it to clear the billing cycle on the credit card

To not be tempted to keep it, I will not mount mine again. I have barely used it and now it's anyway the KP when weight is a concern, or the DFA15-30 when not.

A macro of the tooth might be a bit macabre?

Nice to have someone else with the same lens. If I can’t get to my usual haunts I may need to steal some inspiration.

I like the fact that with the 50-135 I can shoot safety shots of anything, when I don’t get out to the beach or hills or downtown for my favorites subjects. Yesterday’s photo is a banana taken for a safety. It was the last photo I managed for the day. I’ll catch up on my posts as soon as I get my desk / computer put back together after rearranging the office.

No fun. Sounds like double jeopardy, a root canal and an extraction. Perhaps there is a stipulation on your credit card that provides a warranty on dental services, money back guarantee on failed root canals.

Out of town for a few days, I really need to figure out a workflow to participate when I am away from home.
