Yes your right and you have a keen eye for detail. The bikes often sit there for weeks, probably due to the parking issues around here. If you move you bike, then you lose your parking.

Happy shooting.

But how do I get the starburst effect from the sun and lights?

Cheers

K-5 II vs X-E1

I wanted an XE1 as soon as it was announced. I waited and waited, I read up on them. MMM that great sensors, those yummy lenses.

Got to handle one when I had the cash saved up. Dreams crushed in one go. Lightweight was great, but that focusing with the 35mm 1.4 and the 18-55m was killing me in the shop. I felt beaten and gutted. I couldnt bring myself to buy it.

But if they ever speed up the focusing and make it reliable focusing. I will be keen to lust after one again.

Nice work on the PP. I appreciate the efforts. I havnt done much PP before, just cropping and contrast, saturation etc.

Will play around more

Thanks once again

Used Pentax lenses in Hong Kong and Taipei?

I live in Hong Kong, NEVER EVER buy form the shops in TST with the flashing "tax free" lights. All shopping is tax free, these are "black shops" a little like bait and switch, you go in looking for something and levae with something else or broken camera.

The second hand shops in Champagne Arcade on Kimberly Road are good, one of the shops has a perfect rep, there is much written about the owner elsewhere in the net.

Cameras and lenses seem expensive here, compared to the UK or USA prices.

Some companies like Tin Cheung chareg extra % for credit card ttransactions. I have bought form them many times in their K11 mall shop. Sometimes they are very relectant to let you touch the gear.

Hong Kong is very much a place where yu ask about something, and they assume you want it and are ready to buy even without touching.

Have fun

Ricoh GR or GRD IV?
Posted By Partagas

I too have the GRD IV and its great!

First time I saw one and handled it I didnt know much about it, it felt light and very small.

On second fondling of GRD III (after research) I order a GRD IV as soon as they were announced. I had the first one in Hong Kong delivered to me.

Its great, the lens is sharp corner to corner, very customisable, 1cm macro mode. Not a lot not to like.

Yes the GR looks great, yes I want it, but the GRD IV is cool too. Get them whilst they are still around.

Cheers

Hi

I like teh look of teh 16-50mm 2.8, but have read lots of bad things about broken focusing etc.

Is the problem fixed yet? Does any one know safe serial numbers to go for?

Any alternatives to this lens like Sigma worth considering?

Thanks
