Just ordered my K1 ii from SRSMicrosystems, it should arrive tomorrow,hopefully.

It IS arriving today, will try my old Pentax film lenses with it before I decide whether I nedd a new lens or lenses.

[walkeja]

It has been delivered.

Well I didn’t know if to post this in “Say Hello” or here, anyway.

After 18 months of finally trying to get well and regaining my strength and motivation again, I’m back, my m4/3 system has gone, well most of it and I’ve just bought a K-3 (again) and 18-135mm (again), in my time away Ive managed to keep hold of most of my F and FA lenses which was always a motivation to return to the fold one day.

So Hello (Again)

[Derek897]

Hello and welcome back Matty

[ronniemac]

Great to see you back here Matty, and to know that you're on the K-3 again.

Cheers folks, Yep K-3 again, don’t think I can manage the K-1 just yet

I've owned a Pentax A 16mm f2.8 for just a few hours and already I'm 'hooked'

I've used a few old fisheyes in the past but this one is notably better in terms of IQ - I don't know how it would compare to a modern equivalent, but I'm chuffed with the results from just a quick play....







The first one is very slightly de-fished (to suit the image)

Lenny, the results are wonderful!

My battery grip for the K1 just arrived from Amazon, through a good friend.

It'll be interesting to see how you get on with it Felix - I'm still unsure whether I really like it, the K1 is that much bigger than my previous Pentax DSLR's and I think it just tips it over the size/bulk that suits me. Having said that there are of course situations where it is a great tool

Hi Lenny,

This is what it looks like with the D-FA24-70/2.8

Does that set up come with its own wheeled trolley
