I've now edited both post with the Lens/s that I've used for each shot. I hadn't used the 70-300 DL macro on the Macro Setting before until today.;)Quote:

The 50mm 1.4 shown on your pic of the camera (previous page) — is that the one from your LX1?
Yes , that's correct Ron , that is the one I was trying to sell , glad I kept that lens :) Regards to backward compatibility of pentax and their old lenses , I only discovered that the camera will not meter the light from Subject if you have a Pentax-M lens on , once you have composed the shot and set your aperture acordingly in the Manual mode then by pressing the DOF preview Button or the Green button the amount of light is then measured by camera light metre and then Camera automatically selects an exposure setting. this is Brilliant !!!! :D Kudos to Pentax for their Awesome backward compatibility.Quote:

I picked up a 28mm f 2.8 Takumar lens tonight for $30. See http://www.pbase.com/betsypdx/28
I'm looking forward to trying it.
not bad for $30 bucks , you can't complain about that :DQuote:

I took this photo on a recent Bushwalk with my 2 dogs. :)

I was really fortunate to spot this little fella during a Bushwalk through Lanecove National park on the side of the track and I would like to share this picture.
