It is a nice shot, but I think f8 was too much. Now the rocks and the poles are distracting in the background.

Just enjoy the game without taking photo's.
Once in a while it will happen, that you can't take photo's. I had a dance contest last weekend, where i was seated in not the best spot for photo's. So I just enjoyed the dancing, and kept the camera in my bag.

Pentax DA limited 21mm f3.2 and 40mm f2.8 or 20-40mm?

Well, the biggest problem you will have is that when you get the 21, you wish you had gotten the 20-40. Ad when you get the 20-40, you wish you had gotten the 21. ;)

But seriously, both are superb lenses. I do use the 20-40 more often than the 21. As it is just a bit more versitile. But if I want to keep my gear small and light. I will use the 21. (and put another of the limteds in my pocket. Could be the 40, could be the 15 or 70)

So I would say, you want to keep it small and light, get the 21. You want a bit more versatility, get the 20-40 (you just might realize, that you will start using the 40 less)

I have to agree, the 150-450 will make it tricky. For my long lenses I use the Clik Elite Escape (no longer new available), but imo the best bag for long lenses. But I also have the https://nya-evo.eu/products/fjord-36-with-rci-unit with the large ICU. It will hold the 150-450. And looking at the other gear all should fit. I also have the medium ICU, which I think will be just too small for the 150-450 (but you will have more space for other stuff). The also have the https://nya-evo.eu/products/fjord-26-s-with-rci-unit . it is smaller, but does take the large ICU, but then there will be not much space left. (if you need more space, there is the https://nya-evo.eu/products/fjord-60-c-with-rci-unit )Both Clik and Nya have a very good fit. They carry well. (another option is the Clik Elite Contrejour, also not available new, but a very fine bag)

Not for everybody. And not all the same colors.

But on the photo,
I like the color one better. the sepia (in this case), feels like a trick.

Review: Affinity Photo vs Photoshop

This does not compare to LR, it really is a photoshop alternative.
I havent found a goof alternative yet for LR that works for me. But then again, as I use DNG files, i still use LR6.

But I do have Affinity if I need more than LR can give me. And as I only use it a few times a year, the deal is much better than PS.

Pinhole Pro Max available for K mount

You see almost nothing to nothing. So you use live-view. But if it is too dark or so. You first do the composition with another lens, then you put the pinhole on it. Yes using pinhole does slow you down.

In search of a filter system for landscapes
Posted By Macario

I use both systems.
I have circular ND filters in 49mm for the limiteds (and one in 55 mm for the 20-40). Also have a circulair polar filter in 49mm

But for the other lenses I have the square filters from Cokin. and I have the A system (still have it from the analog days), the P system (now called M) and the Z-pro (now called L).
I used the A system a-lot, as it did fit the pentax lenses well

Then I got the P system, well because the newer lenses needed bigger adapters, and the A system didn't go bigger that 62mm.
Then I got the Z-Pro system, As here in Holland, I couldnt find the right filters in P size, so had to to go bigger.


The knock-offs you can buy on e-bay and all are just not good. They have bad color hues most of the times. But still, it can be usefull to buy. As you can buy a whole kit, which comes with almost the whole range in adapter rings. You then just have to buy good filters (cokin, Lee, Benro etc.)

I don't really like the photo. i can't find any sharpness to focus on. But is also isn't unsharp enough to become a nice abstract photo.
