Looks really good. I would have thought it would cause more problems.

Thank you for all the tips and suggestions. Next time I will use the 35mm lens from Sigma and pay better attention to the focus. Let's see how the results are then.

Hi,

I tested the Astrotracer feature on my Pentax K1-II and I don't understand why at the edge the stars are a line again. Could this be due to the ultra wide angle lens (15mm)?

Here something else about the name "Pentax":

"Pentax was originally the name of another 35mm SLR camera model, introduced in 1957 and successor of the Asahiflex. The name is derived from the shape of the prism used in SLR cameras (pentaprism), and the ending deliberately looks like the Zeiss Ikon Contax. In fact, the name Pentax was a property of Zeiss Ikon (West) until they sold it to Asahi Optical Co., maybe strategically because ZI's East-German concurrent had relabeled its Contax S SLRs to Pentacon."

Thanks for pointing out the challenges. I also nominated pictures for the month of June.

I mainly post pictures on Flickr. Don't be surprised, there are also pictures from a Fujifilm camera. I first had my Pentax K5 II and have now switched to two digital cameras. One for on the go is the Fujifilm X100V and for high quality pictures the Penax K1 II (I just got it this week).

I wanted to introduce myself briefly in this thread. I'm from Germany and have been taking pictures in my spare time since 2012. For a long time I was on the road with a Pentax K5 II and see myself as a Pentaxian. I love Pentax the robust design and the good quality of the camera and lenses. Of course, the name "Pentax" also plays a role, since it comes from the Thuringia/Saxony region and reminds me of the long camera tradition of this region. I particularly like to photograph architecture, landscapes and abstract motifs. I try to minimize my images stylistically and orient myself more to painting in terms of image composition and color design.

Many greetings

Björn
