K1 manual focus

When using an A series lens on the K1 (I don't know if this will hold for a pre A series), when focus is attained, there is a brief flash of red light across the screen, and the focus spot in the center changes from a small circle to a bold circle. It's very cool. bill -- PDML Pentax-Discuss

I just applied the lens profile in Lightroom to "correct" the fisheye view to rectilinear... Nothing fancy. For me, the takeaway was: not much gained on the wide end of ff once you get down to extremely wide focal lengths, but you don't want fisheye & so you have to correct distortion/crop

Very interesting demonstration, Christine. Thanks for sharing it. What method of "correction" for the fisheye did you use? This makes me look a bit differently at the Samyang 8mm fisheye (on a full frame). I'm not usually terribly interested in fisheye lines, but if it gets one wider
