Hi Pentaxians
I really like this b/w sepia conversion of a view into the park behind the
Swiss National Museum in Zurich so far.
I hope it will be used in a winter tourism prospect next year but must
rescan it then with the best film scanner I can get for all the details.

good lens, so there wasn't much apparent need for significant sharpening.
Initially, I was unhappy with the edge artefacts the first pass produced,
but t
This is more like it:

The offical Air force images from the recent Sydney Air show were shot

It would have to auto crop to 10 t0 12 megapixels to make me and
other DA lens owners happy. Which means it would have to be a full
frame sensor on the order of the top of the line camera, which means
it would be a $6000 camera. All of that is reason to believe it won't
happen. But I'll be

So do I, a FF sensor under a K-mount with DA lens detection and the
potential to auto-crop to 6-8 MP APS would be near ideal.

Not sure why, but I was sure I had to have one. So now I do. I added it to
my collection of 4 other pentax slr bodies and 3 med format bodies. Now
why would a single person need that many camera's not counting the 3 point
and shoot pentax camera's I have.
On a different note. I love it.
The DA* lenses are better than the FAs in at least two ways: USM and
weather sealing. And they're as fast as the best of the FAs.

Hi Kenneth
thanks for looking and your comment.
I have indeed made 2 more photos of the same subject from different
distances.
I'm therefore sure you and Paul will like this one much more:

Hi,
went for another stroll around London to see how the newly acquired
14-54 lens performs. I'm quite pleased with it - it seems to be very
sharp. These pictures are straight out the camera with no colour
fooling around. Shot raw, iso 100, daylight. If anything it's more
saturated than I really l
Thanks for commenting David.
Most of this industrial things look good and sometimes even stronger in
black and white IMHO, I like a slight touch of sepia too.

I totally get it. My comments were just to say that if I were there I'd
look over the front.

I'd expect it to be similar to the 28-105 zooms offered previously;
probably no faster than f5.6 at the long end. I see this lens as
being part of a two-lens kit with the 70-300. Note that they are
DA lenses, not DA*; the target demographic is probably price-driven.

Depends which one you get. The one Sigma I own is built as well as any

I think just the opposite: 645 mount is dead.
