I posted these in the Critique corner....some samples from the K-x.
The low light noise from this camera is ok except I find it harder to lock focus in low light compared with the K7. The Cat photos look ok because it was motionless when I took these. Once it started to move, it was a little more difficult with the indoor natural light.


Had problem nailing the the focus on the shutter perhaps because of the lines.

Decided to get a 200mm f2.8 recently. Was eyeing the FA*, but the prices was quite high... In the end, I got a Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar instead, at a much lower price. True, the AF on the FA* would be helpful, but not that factor not a deal breaker. Besides, the glass was gorgeous.

cropped - I suspect that the focus is slightly off for this one, and this could have been sharper. But not easy to focus when the M42 adapted mount is loose, and the lens itself weighs 1.27 kg.

Very nice rendering of the OOF lights.
Any pictures of the actual beast to share?
Usually such old lenses are truly built to last and feels good even to see, touch and hold

Thanks, yes I noticed the rendering of the lights too. Will try to take pictures of the lens for you all to see. It is quite sturdy and very well built, tho I will probably not appreciate these traits so much after 2 - 3 hours of trudging ard with it.

The Pentax-F 1.7x AF teleconverter when used with a 300mm f/4 lens, you effectively got a 510mm f/6.7 lens.

Sharing here are photos shoot today using the combo, shots at wide open f/6.7.

I guess this is the first time I've risked my life for a photograph.. Slipping on the ice and falling into the sub-zero lake with nobody around would not be fun at all! Some parts of the photo are blurry due to water droplets from the big waves.

Not worth to risk life! Better look after your own safety.
