Re: Re: I'm a little slow getting things processed

I really like the length of the 165mm. And the intermediate price range for the lens. I had it on a monopod and had to carefully time the shots with the boat motion. Wasn’t easy. Of course they’re not as shop as I would have like but what more could I reasonably expect. -- %(real_name)s Penta

The 75mm shots in Missouri were 2020, December. A southern winter. The UP was in August and shot with the 67 165mm. We had just gotten over Covid and took the popup for a spin. Stayed at the Newberry campground. A nice central location in the eastern half of the UP. -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discu

Three from a resort in the Branson, MO, area with the 75mm and the rest from Pictured Rocks (MI) with the 165mm on a monopod while on a moving boat. (That was interesting.) https://www.flickr.com/photos/101533246@N02/albums/72177720296191633 -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscri

Photographing a guitar

A few years ago I did a nice violin shot in b&w. That was fun. Recently I’ve re-started playing guitar and would like to shoot it in b&w. (classical) Any thoughts or examples on lighting, display, and such? Much appreciated. (Also, just finished my second round of Covid. August was pretty rough

Another move P sighting

Wife wanted to watch the remake of Sabrina. Harrison Ford version. Meh. It appears that all, certainly most, of the cameras used were Pentax. It began with a 6x7 fashion shoot. And lots of 35mm work. I may have missed some non-P stuff there. -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscri

Which would be better

Used K70 or used K3? -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Pentax-F 50/1.7 on a5100

Ok, I’m not totally switching. Not even partly. Just wanting to see how well the Pentax-F 50/1.7 works on the a5100. It works pretty well. The only problem is focusing in bright light. What a pain with no viewfinder at all. I think on of those shoe-mount gizmos form the 50s might be in order.
