Sheesh, too easy. You got it immediately. A few others were close, some very imaginative. It's actually the inner stainless steel drum from an old Hoover front loading washing machine. The stand is the drive pulley mounted in reverse. A perfect braai (barbecue) for two. Works very well -

Peso: shot with the 15-30

The local pusher had their annual dog and pony show today, so I got to play with a couple of the new lenses for the K1. This one was shot with the 15-30. Not much to say about it, other than that it's a brick wall. The lens is nicely balanced to the camera, and seems very, very sharp.

Another pixel shifted K1 pictures. This is a single exposure. Well, technically it's 4 exposures. I mounted a Fuji 90mm f/5.6 enlarging lens on the front of the Bellows K for this shot. The subject is a small pendant (about 1.75 inches long) of my wife's. She figures it is about 200 years old.

Re: In-body lens aberration correction, noise reduction etc. Yes or No?

On some cameras, lens corrections are embedded in the raw files and automatically applied by raw converters that honor the lens correction metadata. Not all raw converters allow you to disable the lens corrections. Nor should you, because such cameras and lenses are designed to be used with

Re: In-body lens aberration correction, noise reduction etc. Yes or No?

I think you have it right. I don't know if I turned those corrections off, but I figure since I shoot RAW it doesn't matter. I think noise reduction affects RAW but not sure. I leave it on "auto." I think the Pentax engineers are smarter than me. Paul via phone > On May 14, 2016, at 4:45 PM,
