Amazing images John - I seriously need to get up to Skye for a visit - a friend used to go every year and I've never been which is just daft! The big issue is it's a heck of a drive from Sussex I guess and the weather is so unpredictable even in Summer so it always seems easier to settle for Dorset! Gorgeous place though beautifully captured!

Thanks so much - always great to receive feedback like that - I must confess that the K1 has helped me raise my game as a photographer and push myself which has added a lot of pleasure to the hobby. Like you I love seeing other people's work though - no artist can exist in a bubble and it's really important to gather inspiration from those around you. Interestingly the picture you like best is my favourite too from the shoot! She's actually an amazing singer and songwriter - you can hear her music at: Eleanore and the Lost: a symphonic rock/pop band influenced by the music of Jeff Buckley, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, Bjork, Kate Bush and Evanescence
I strongly recommend listening to 'Phoenix Finally Free' and 'My true nature' amongst the rest. She's a photogenic subject too!
Best wishes,
Jonathan

Ranchy,
The bokeh on your Takumar is beautiful - lovely shots. I'm glad you like mine - the 24-70mm is incredible and locked on 100% accurately absolutely instantaneously (i.e. it feels like it focuses as fast as your human eye which focuses so fast that you don't even notice.) The FA 77 focuses slightly slower (although still pretty fast) although on that one I missed focus on the eyes in around 5% of shots. Not sure however if this was user error i.e. I just didn't quite lock on to the eye accurately enough with the centerpoint.
Overall though I'm very pleased with the results and some of the details on skin, eyes etc astounded me on the full size Raw's. The combination (gripped) is a joy to use (although feels significantly heavier than the gripped K3 and 17-70 combo I usually use. For studio shooting though I am not going back whereas for travel I think I will continue to use the K3.
