WOW, stunning set of images Tobias!!
Very artistic too, love the crazy shake, the fish and the shot in the woods!
since these issues just were discussed elsewhere in the forum the later also shows well controlled CA, the beautiful landscape photos that this lens not only is good for close focus, but that it also performs well at infinity.
yes, this lens should optically be identical to the S-M-C version I had presented, and to the SMC version, thank you for mentioning _________________ my photos on flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/kuuan/collections |

no not in the studio, nr.2 was shot outside at a grave yard.
yes, true ! Nr. 5 is from the Netherlands, very typical isn't it ?
It was shot in Zelland near Goes ... Wilhelminadorp.

Hostility is usually borne out of ignorance and/or jealousy and no matter where you go there will ALWAYS be trolls. Pay no attention to them. They usually get either banned or ignored to the point that they lose interest and move on. _________________ Nikon FTn, F2A, F3HP, F4E, F5, Nikkormat FT2, Nikon FE-2, Nikonos V, D850, D500 and D750. 8mm f/2.8 AIS, 16mm f/2.8 Fisheye AIS, 15mm f/3.5 AIS, 18mm f/3.5 AIS, 24mm f/2 AIS, 28mm f/2 AIS, 28mm f/3.5 Nikkor H non-AI, 25-50mm f/4 AIS, 28mm f/3.5 and 35mm f/2.8 UW-Nikkors, 35mm f/1.4 AIS, 50mm f/1.4 AIS, 50mm f/1.4 Nikkor-S, 50-135mm f/3.5 AIS, 55mm f/2.8 AIS Micro w/ PK-13, 80-200mm f/4 AIS, 85mm f/1.4 AIS, 105mm f/1.8 AIS, 10.5 cm f/2.5 non-AI, 105mm f/2.8 AIS Micro, 135mm f/2 AIS, 180mm f/2.8 ED AIS, 200mm f/4 Micro AIS and PN-11, 200mm f/2 ED-IF AIS, 300mm f/2.8 ED-IF AIS, 400mm f/2.8 ED-IF AIS, 500mm f/8 Reflex, 600mm f/4 ED-IF AIS, TC14B and TC300.

you are so right about the ignorance, more so even jealousy part.

That is it wasn't just trolls showing up once in a while but some of the very 'big figures' or at least some who present themselves as such.

Pentax found their niche and filled it well. They realized that they either could not or did not want to compete head to head with Nikon and Canon, who were both already very deeply entrenched in the professional market, as a true photographic system. But they carved out a profitable niche as an affordable alternative to the "big two' that still offered cameras and lenses of high quality. The Pentax LX was their most ambitious attempt to appeal to the serious amateur market and it did well. If you look at prices for used LX bodies on Fleabay, they do hold their value very well. Much better than the Canon A-1! _________________ Nikon FTn, F2A, F3HP, F4E, F5, Nikkormat FT2, Nikon FE-2, Nikonos V, D850, D500 and D750. 8mm f/2.8 AIS, 16mm f/2.8 Fisheye AIS, 15mm f/3.5 AIS, 18mm f/3.5 AIS, 24mm f/2 AIS, 28mm f/2 AIS, 28mm f/3.5 Nikkor H non-AI, 25-50mm f/4 AIS, 28mm f/3.5 and 35mm f/2.8 UW-Nikkors, 35mm f/1.4 AIS, 50mm f/1.4 AIS, 50mm f/1.4 Nikkor-S, 50-135mm f/3.5 AIS, 55mm f/2.8 AIS Micro w/ PK-13, 80-200mm f/4 AIS, 85mm f/1.4 AIS, 105mm f/1.8 AIS, 10.5 cm f/2.5 non-AI, 105mm f/2.8 AIS Micro, 135mm f/2 AIS, 180mm f/2.8 ED AIS, 200mm f/4 Micro AIS and PN-11, 200mm f/2 ED-IF AIS, 300mm f/2.8 ED-IF AIS, 400mm f/2.8 ED-IF AIS, 500mm f/8 Reflex, 600mm f/4 ED-IF AIS, TC14B and TC300.
