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.

Those old lenses work very nicely, Khos. That's one advantage of the Pentax — backwards compatibility with all the old lenses, manual, auto, non-AF, etc.

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 !!!! Kudos to Pentax for their Awesome backward compatibility.

That fish-eye is also working nicely, Khos. It did have some good reviews in the lens reviews.

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

We should try and do a comparison between the takumar and pentax-M 2.8 see which one is sharper

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

Taken with Sigma 70-300 1:4-5.6 DL macro

Got this shot with the 50mm f1.8 II my latest acquisition (Cheap one but great image quality)

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.
