What do you mean September is over already?!
I took more photos than I showed. But I have yet to process them to put up to share.
All I can say is 50mm is a lot wider than I remembered, and actually works ok in my house. And it’s nice to get up to 135mm. I only missed the wide end a few times. But I wasn’t really on my game..
Got two explores out of it though which was pretty cool - nice way to get back in the saddle.
If you want to know whether you should pull the trigger or not, I say do it. The compression at 135, and shot open wide is a magic combination.

No hurricanes or typhoons here. However, my latest Singles In managed another Explore. Very happy with that.

I just checked the tracking number with Australia Post. They said expect it either Friday or Monday week.
I have a session tomorrow, and was hoping to play with it. But it's probably for the best that I don't bring out a new lens that I've never tried before on a paying client. LOL.
Can't wait till it arrives and I get to play!!

That's a cute one. I have a machine. Do I use it much? Nope. Yet I keep on putting things off because I know I COULD take it out to make things rather than buying. Vicious cycle. lol

I’m currrently using an af tamron 70-300/4 for my daughter’s soccer.
I’m not 100% sure I’ll go back to manual but I should. It’s where I’ve spent the bulk majority of my time with pentax. But yes, some different techniques for Mf that I need to revisit.

Thanks for the tip. I’ve become quite rusty with manual lenses.
Yes I love catch in focus. And when it comes to children just because they come into frame isn’t going to cut it for me. But that’s ok. I used to get a lot more keepers. But it’s the first manual lens I’ve used in closento three years. Whoops. Not quite like getting back onto a bike lol lol lol

I have the K mount version, but it's a M lens, not an A lens.
This is me using it on the KP this afternoon. Shot wide open.

Yeah the mfd is a bit of a killer. Started playing this morning in the house and struggled a little. I have also been spoilt with and can’t spin that focus wheel fast enough to capture the girls - even though one was specifically walking slow for me

Mine came in a huge bundle of Pentax lenses from a guy a couple of years ago at a price I couldn’t pass up. I ended up just putting them away and haven’t even played with any of them yet damn lab... lol
Now that I have the kp I’m curious to see what kind of results I’ll get with my gear because I swear the 17-50:2.8 that I own has moved up another notch with the kp compared to my k50 and ks2

Hrm I might have that lens squirrelled away somewhere... you’ve got me curious now... might go see about playing..
Bwahahaha I have so many lenses I don’t even remember what I own :lol:
Turns out it’s a 200/4 pk mount. Guess I know what I’ll be playing with today :cool:

I've never heard of credit cards price matching anything that you buy. it's a debit card through mastercard, not a proper proper credit card. so it just uses mastercard's services but takes the money directly out of my account.
bwahahahaha. that's funny!!
wtf... 2.6-2.8?! HELLS YES.. what's the equivalent of that in pentaxland? DA* 17-50/2.8?
