Nice shakers!

Funny, I had my DA21 out yesterday and today too. When I first got  
this lens I was a little reluctant as I didn't think I would use it  
much. That was an error... I get so many good photos when I take it  
out for a walk.

Go for the DA70 too. You won't regret it. I showed it to a friend of  
mine who recently bought the Canon 85/1.4L and he nearly fell over  
when he realized it was a 70mm lens. Seriously, I could go with just  
the DA21, FA28, and DA70 .. not feel wanting for anything else. Great  
lenses, and all three of them with the K10D fit in a teensy bag for  
an SLR.

Oh Pentax ... About the DA28/2 Limited? ;-)

It's actually kind of a cool shot.  I guess it is because of the angle
and how the shakers seem to be leaning out, thanks to the wide angle
lens.  1/3 second looks pretty sharp - seems the SR is a good thing.

Nice shot, Bill.

Sadly, I can't do that for you. I do have a nice Tokina 80-200/2.8.
I want to keep it though.

Simple and familiar, yet a light and unique image.
Not a criticism, but my immediate thought was that the salt should be
on the darker left side...as though it matters (not).
Equally unimportant, I might have brushed off the few grains on caps.

It's a very good lens. I am teaching myself to appreciate the focal length, 
as it isn't a field of view I have had a lot of use for.
I am still resisting the DA70, but damn, it tempted me.
This is a quick picture I took with it of the girl who tried to victimise

people do spend on criticism, I really should try comment on other people's
