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?

I know. I get it. I just needed to vent a little. I’m not going to return it or whatever. It was what it was. Just needed to air out my bad luck. Not even an hour between it arriving. *rolls eyes*
But I’ve had a sleep. I posted here pretty much immediately as things happened, and you know how things get.
I will post up some pictures soon. Camera factory settings had it at 6400 to begin with and it all looks pretty good from what I can tell but need to spend some more time with it first.

it's the official supplier for pentax here... *shrug*
I must admit, i'd never even read the terms and conditions. i just trusted they would do me right.
no idea if they are open on saturdays. i guess i'm a little scared they'll say no, and it's a bit intimidating to ask.... lol
they shipped that sucker out to me in less than 48 hours. considering i live rurally, that's a feat in itself. i don't believe i've ever received anything that fast. it's almost like they were waiting for me to receive it before they sent that email out!!
meanwhile, there appears to be 20% discounts all over ebay with dcexpert and ted's for the kp, which still brings it to like just over a grand, whereas i paid $1399... *winces*
all i had to do was hold on tight for two more days... i still can't believe it.

I’ve sent an email to ask. I don’t know what they will say though. And it’s Friday night now.
I swear it felt like they waited till it arrived and then sent that sale off #conspirqcytheory #cozitsallaboutme lol
I mean it was only like 45 mins between my husband picking it up from the post office and me receiving the email ��
I checked terms and conditions. They don’t accept refunds and they require a 20% restocking fee!!
Anyway I’ve written the email, so we shall see.

Omg!!
So my Pentax kp arrives two days after I order it, and then not half an hour after I have it I my little hands I get an email from CD kennedy telling me they’ve dropped the price til 990 until Sunday with 15% off any lens!!!
I could cry!!! The one time I pull the trigger instead of hesitating... *bangs head Against wall*
I paid an extra $400!!!
Everybody get on and go and buy that sucker. $990 is an absolute steal.. and for once I’m not the one doing the robbery!!

Definitely cold by Australian standards. You guys have underfloor heating and floor insulation as standard right? I think I was watching some Canadian renovation shows that was fascinating.
We are about 2 hours from the Snowy Mountains. It's rare that snow makes it out there. In Winter 10-14 degrees celcius is usually the high during the days.
Thanks on the Congrats. CR Kennedy just sent me a dispatch email!! *Does little dance*
It should be in my hands next week!! Yess...

Hey!!! Yes, I've been missing you guys too! I need to get back into Singles In. Maybe after my new baby arrives.... I can't wait to see if it really does shoot in the dark! lol

Thanks. :) Here's hoping. I've loved my k-50 stormtrooper, but it's not doing what I need. :asleep: I will miss it though. And am still itching that I couldn't get the silver and black version of the KP

I have just gone and pulled the trigger on a pentax kp and theta m15 bundle.
*Runs around screaming*
First time I've bought a brand new camera body in over 10 years.. usually I buy secondhand...
but omg omg omg omg.
Hyperventilating and excited at the same time.
819,200 iso baby... bring it on. Here's hoping I can shoot in the dark!!
This is the most expensive/amount of money I've spent to date on one single item. *gulp*
Someone hold my hand???? lol.
