Today I received my new Pentax K-5 which was exchanged because of the stain issue. I have now a K-5 without stains...

But my trusty Pentax *ist DS is not worthless! I made this series today to show a hidden and sharp gem. Some of you own it, but it should be used more despite its slow speed and rather long minimum focusing distance (2,5 meters).

The 2nd one (with the Coot) was shot at f/8, all the others were shot wide open. Thanks by the way!

Hi Peter: Absolutely a GREAT lens, typical of Takumars. Wow! Also, great
link from Rolf to more great images.

Yes, I think it is too slow, and I need to take it for my landscape
work. Yes....way too slow. Laughing

Thanks again everyone!

@Laurence: Razz

@Rolf: no LV, I used this on my 6 year old *ist DS. Still a very good camera! I liked your results which also show how good the 200/5.6 actually is.
