Agree, those Spanish mono shots are awesome. I especially like #3!

I've not posted on here for some time, but I have a lot of images I should probably share.

We had a fabulous trip in February to mark a significant birthday. I carried my Tamron SP 28-75 f/2.8, FA31, FA77 and a Leitaxed leica Elmarit-R APO 180 f/3.4. I used them all and also found that carrying the camera with just the two FA Limiteds was a reasonably portable setup for street use.

Here is one, from the Antarctic Peninsula, using FA77 @f6.3, ISO400:

Thank you very much David.
It's a long time I haven't gone to the mountain although it would take me one hour and a half to go there....

I also do like the first one at contre-jour. Besides, I was very close to them with my 28mm lens...

Beautiful shots. I love the second one for the rendering, it makes me frozen...

The third one is funny and the image framing is what I supposed to be: framing before focusing... Bravo!

Merci Teikli!
The temperatures down in Antarctica were actually quite acceptable, never colder than zero deg C and often about 3-4 deg, without wind chill however!

As for the framing before focussing, yes, I did and had reasonable time to prepare that shot, remembering to shift my AF point.

I like your Cron-R 50 images and wish I had not sold my own version of that great lens.

Never colder than 0°C, very disturbing...

Leica and other brands made new 50mm lenses which are excellent but so big actually... Your Limited FA Pentax lenses seem to be very good as well and small..

Your new serie on national theatre is very nice...

We have just come back from Spain yesterday. My car was broken into in Valencia the last day of our trip and all our luggage has been robbed except my camera and my Leica-R lenses which I wore and my MacBook Pro hidden in the boot...

K1+K24/2.8 and pixel shift

Not the best resolution wise on the edges, but imo, certainly still rather good for the price, size, f2.8 max aperture.

K1+K24/2.8 again

I just find that bit of sensor shift for composition adjustment invaluable, even when its only a bit.
My widest lens I brought along that day was the 24mm.
The shift plus a bit of tilt down of the camera allowed me to get away with less noticeable keystone distortion while getting more of the construction below which provided a foreground element to the shot.

The ability to set the timer for B mode exposure is a godsend too.
Set for 80s for this shot.

Unfortunately, I didn't think to use it although I had not tripod with me... It was in my broken car but not stolen.. Well done!

Sorry to hear about the break in of the car.

But seems like you got a nice, fruitful trip in Spain.

Thanks for your comment on the theatre photos. The Pentax FA lenses are very good. I do not have the 43mm but the FA31 and FA77 are both excellent. Their contrast is noticeably higher than even the APO Elmarit-R 180 f/2.4, although I suspect that has more to do with coatings than anything else.

That last one of yours of the bandsman is spectacular - he's looking you right in the eye and cannot do anything about the fact that you have just captured him, whatever his thoughts on that!

I also like the monochrome set from Valencia.

I'm sorry to hear of that dreadful theft from your car, however what good fortune that your camera, rare (now harder to acquire) Leica-R lenses and MacBookPro were saved.

Thank you again. As of today, I wouldn't be able to afford of buying all my stuff... While remaining profoundly wary and distrustful about robbery in Spain, I was not able to prevent it in that case... Moreover, my car was parked in a very busy avenue near the ciudad de las artes y de las ciencas where I stayed just a couple of hours before coming back to home...

Wanted a mid tele lens that was lighter and smaller since it was for cityscape shooting only, so I reached for the venerable Takumar 135/3.5.
Nothing lacking in this lens despite its grand age.

I almost can read off the newspaper covering the windscreen of the crane.

Hi,
This lens is known to be very good indeed like most of the 135mm actually..
