K24mm f/2.8
I just bought a good condition K24/2.8 to use on a digital 1.5x body - any comments/advice on this lens? I gather it's sharp in the centre wide open and sings stopped down a bit? I tend to be f/8 and be there on the street anyway, so hoping this will be a good lens to use in these circumstances.

Re: K24mm f/2.8
I bought a near mint one when I was lusting for the Fujinon 23mm 1.4. Close enough focal length and less than a tenth the price. It seems to be well behaved, although I've had a spate of random out of focus shots and can't figure out why because, like you, I tend to walk around with it set to f8. Maybe it's the (very) cheap adaptor?

Re: PESO - Dusk Walk
Both images are quite effective. I like the shape of the tree in the first image, and the bench adds a nice tough of loneliness, scale and mood. In the second, the wetness of the road (or path) brightens the scene just enough and draws the eye strongly towards the walkers. It has a real sense of place and mood.

Thanks, Mark. They're peace symbols. The spokes of the Mercedes Benz trademark are pointed.

Re: PESO - On the Canal
The Mercedes-Benz logo has three spokes -- a tri-star. A peace sign has a fourth spoke between the two lower spokes. I recall welding the fourth spoke into some merc hood ornaments in the early '70s.

Re: PESO - On the Canal
Took a look at this on the big screen. Nice shot of a pretty scene. The lifesaver mounts are definitely tri-stars, they're not four-spoke peace signs. Could be Daimler logos. Wouldn't be surprised to see that in Berlin. On the other hand, they could be just three-point mounts for the lifesavers. But I'd guess their logos. Paul - Original Message - Thanks, Mark.

PESO - Mummers
http://www.markcassino.com/b2evolution/index.php/mummers The caption on the blog post explains it all... Pentax Q, 01 Normal Prime, ISO 3200. I made a few mistakes last year - I brought the Q with normal zoom and normal prime lens, not considering that low light is not the Q's forte. Afer trying the normal zoom for a while I switched to the faster prime lens, but never actually opened the aperture up. So I wound up shooting at f 4.5 instead of f 1.9, which would have been better. The Q at ISO 3200 is not super good... We are going back this year and i plan to take the K3 and 50mm f1.7. I go there more to hang out with friends than to take photos, but this rig might work better. Mark --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
