My Pentax Q arrived on Wednesday, a full day sooner than expected. I had
planned to leave first thing that morning for a business trip, but was
delayed by a few hours and luckily was
jects to try with the Q and D-FA 100mm macro
lens. I was thinking about the striking spider shots in the post that Darren
shared a while back. and by chance my garden provided two large spiders to
serve as photographic subjects.
So - here are my first macro shots with the Pentax Q:
Pentax did build solid K mount lenses, they're called the K series from
1975.

Yep it is soft. This shot did remind me of my Tammy SP 70-120 3.5-4
Macro 1:2 (long name heh?).
Took it outside and took a couple shots... soft. :(
I thought it was a bit better but well ..

quite soft. Considering this, I think the

It looks slightly soft - could be movement of the leaf. It's so small
and there is no metadata, so I don't know what you shot it at, i.e.:
zoom focal length, shutter speed, etc..
It looks typical, is my 2 cents worth. :-)

Jack, Bob, Brian,
Thanks for your comments!
I agree about the stem; I kinda like the OOF green
stuff, though.
At 100% tiny little beads of nectar (?) are visible on
the stamens, so focus isn't a problem in the original
image. I probably should have sharpened it more for
the jpg conversion.

Beautiful carnation. Variegated color fringed peddles make a nice
subject.
I think more light on the top and a crisp focus would really help it
pop. Sort of undefined soft lines that would do well to be more clearly
defined.
There is some mildly distracting mottling within the frame that might
be c
Very nice, Rick. I like the translucent effect.
It might be improved by removing the stem on the left and possibly the out of
focus vegetation on the right.
Cheers

Lovely and innovative! It would be great to get rid of the stem in
upper left and the other background stuff on the right. You're gonna
set a high bar for the months PUG.

Hi!
Nice shot of the ladybug, Boris - is looks to be quite sharp and the DOF
is just right.
I'm not familiar with the Tamron - I assume the 2x adapter lets you go
to 2x lifesized?
No, Mark, you're quite wrong. It is very simple. The lens itself is
90/2.5 that can go only 1:2 lifesize. With adap

The plane is just generically called an "ultralight"

In the US, we call that an ultralight airplane. Small, cheap, easy to
