I know the mongrel has a Pentax K5 - I have a K7 and I'm jealous! :mad:

:D :D

LOL!!! Pentax! :wasntme::p

Don't you know it is bad-mannered to make fun of someone's choice of camera (or anything else)?

Thanks for the complement guys , much appreciated .
@ bytemark , as Ron mentioned , I use a Pentax K5 with a DBG-4 Grip. I'm not sure if you can view the images on my photostream but the exif data pretty much shows all of metadata of the camera raw image , type of camera ,exposure , focal length , etc.
The actual lens that I used most for nearly all my landscape shots is the Pentax Da15 Ltd.
For both of those shots I used a B+W 110 3.0 1000 ND Filter.


Nice Macro shots :)

I'm afraid that being on the end of frequent Pentax-bashing from Nikon and Canon owners is like being on the end of frequent Land Rover-bashing by Toyota/Nissan owners - very, very tiring.

I'm happy with my Pentax K-7. I can use all my lenses dating back to my first AF Pentax K-mount lenses from 1989 and even my M42-mount lenses from my first SLR bought in 1968, a Pentax Spotmatic (albeit, those in semi-manual mode).

This not one of my pics but was taken at a recent model shoot where the model didn't turn up. We used each other. This is of me so now you know what I look like. (Yes, my helmet and jacket)

Canon users get it from Nikon, Nikon from Canon, Pentax and Sony from everyone! :p It's all just banter, Ron.

I have Pentax lenses, Ricoh, Zeiss, Yashica... You name it, I own it... Except Leica. I don't have that much cash. lol

Ron, I am a Nikon user because it is what I like but IMO the important part is the one that press the trigger and then the equipment.
Pentax is a fine machine and the company produce very good optics, more that enough to have an excellent result.
There is no Canon, Pentax, Sony,etc bashing in me ;)
Keep shooting.
