Win a Pentax Limited Lens: Raffle Now Live!

Ok after the walk home with assorted lenses and film cameras yesterday i decided to participate with the M 50 f1.7. After 2 months of slow lenses and mostly at the wider end I need to change things up. I'll save the lentar 21 for the nicer weather when i can get out of the city and do some landscapes

I'll post an album and cross post here. Have a lot to weed through from yesterday so i'll get them up tonight or tomorrow as I have to go out to the suburbs after work today (an 1-1.5 hours for a usual 20 minute trip due to rush hour)

some great stuff in the threads and albums on a quick review, it'll be tough just to keep up with all the shots everyone is doing

Glad for you to participate. Enjoy this cult classic

Just wanted to say congratulations on getting through SiF. Great shots there.
3 in a row , eh? Good luck!

Looking forward to seeing you stuff here Eddie! Lots of 50'ies in this challenge which is great since I do not own one :-) .. eh, though not great for LBA. Hmm!

Ok the first 2 days. One of the things i really missed with the last 2 lenses was the low light capabilities and nice DOF and Bokeh, think this will help with that

Day 1, Salt of various pedigrees



Day 2 playing with low light

I will have an album of extras on my Flickr link to Follow

That M50 is hard to beat, especially for the price.

Nice smooth transitions in the bokeh in the salty shot.

Great lens, and you are putting it to great use.
#2 has bokeh-to-die-for!

I like the second image better .. more contrast and that nice big black stretch on the left.

Beautiful bokeh, i'll have to try my A 50 as well.

I have a feeling given how time pressed i am right now at work you'll see a lot of bokeh shots, far easier to come up with and don't require me going on the hunt for inspiration. Sure is a nice change from shooting wide and slow last 2 months

A really nice warm feel to these shots and such creamy bokeh!

DAy 3, missed the flower shop by the time i got out of work, this Mad Wabbit has been staring me down lately

I also started a thread in the monthly extras for the rest, or they are on my Flickr

Single in March Spares - Monthly Photo Challenges - Extras - PentaxForums.com

March 2011 Extras - a set on Flickr

That's a pretty cool toy, and very well shot.

I only managed the mobile phone store myself.
