I just stumbled across Becextech. They have some gear for us Pentaxians. Never used them personally, but someone claims they received "really good service" from them.

What a gorgeous shot! Love those colours. I saw some very similar colours this morning out the window... but I couldn't be bothered getting out of bed, let alone fetching the camera.

What the...? I can't reconcile that focal length with the price. Is it made of cardboard and cling film??

The standard dog test photos. Revuenon 50 1.2 @ 1.2. It is going to be a little more usable at 1.2 than I was expecting - I think the transition to blurred is more subtle than I expected partly probably coz it is a very smooth bokeh. The colour/feel of the image is not what I am used to from Taks - had to edit a bit differently. But very sharp for wide open.

I believe the commerce commission is advising against dealing with this company. They are/have been dealing with a number of complaints about this crowd and have a warning on their website.

Thanks guys.

Made it to Vietnam to catch-up with my brother who is working here now.

Cultural overload type stuff at the mo.

Hong Kong construction is crazy, on a massive scale. Enjoying the break and seeing some new stuff.

Camera at the ready 👍🏻
