Thanks! Most important - I've already put the deposit down on Husky Season Tickets :) That's funny about Kenmore Photo - I either forgot or didn't know they were there, and I used to live up the hill in Juanita. That's one of the areas we're looking to live in. Most of the Pentax stuff I do...

I feel your pain. I grew up in Bellevue, and took photography classes back in the 80s. At that time, I remember clearly there were the two camps - color and B&W. My photography teacher was B&W, and that's what most of my photography was. I think it's brilliant Pentax brought out a monochrome...

Yeah... I hear you. My LX (I think) works (I'll know as soon after I take about 10 more snaps - I'm not going to waste film on an Ektachrome 100!), if not my P30t definitely works, and if not that, I'm pretty sure my K1000 is indestructible. But film is so cool, and we do get a vote. And...

I love the detail on your daughter's eyes... And that perspective on the Seattle Police Headquarters... You're making me look forward to going home in six months... :)

Really good run down. I have a few of the pro zooms (12-40mm F/2.8 I and II, 40-150mm f/2.8 and f/4.0). For primes, I had the 17mm f/1.8, and still have the 45mm f/1.8, and then Laowas on the wide side (4mm f/2.8, 10mm f/2.0, and a 7.5mm f/2 coming soon). Probably missing some other ones too...

I am -really- curious how these 1" smartphone cameras perform Raw... If anyone has a sample, please post it here. I've watched a few reviews on the 1" sensors, and the bulk of them seem geared towards what the camera can do out of the box, e.g. how vibrant the colors are, how they compare to...

Thanks for the report, and nice photos! I'll be there on Sunday too. Currently lovely weather in London, so hopefully it'll hold out west...

So as of right now, it looks cool, cloudy, and with showers for the RIAT -- Lordwilling, the weather will clear up, but otherwise looks like the 40-150mm with the MC-14 might be in order...

40-150mm f/2.8 with the MC-20 and MC-14 for my primary lens. I thought about renting, but I think it's overkill. I'm going to Scotland the day after so I'll have on me the 12-40mm f/2.8 and at least the Laowa 10mm f/2. I work at a military air station near a civilian airport so I'm going to...

I just can't imagine how long after my knees would hurt carrying a lens that ginormous!

Yeah, and if you stopped down to get the DoF, you'd up the ISO and not get the detail on the bird, right? Physics sucks sometimes :)

Yeah, the bird is perfect on that -- I was wondering if you were getting some motion blur on the plane, but at 1/4000 I guess not. Wonderful "almost" though -- two flyers :)

Wow! Oh awesome. I'm going Sunday. Right now I'm planning on taking my OM-1, 12-40 f/2.8, 40-150mm f/2.8 and both the MC-14 and MC-20 (I just got the -14. I'm wondering if getting an extra stop back will be worth it). We're heading up to Scotland afterwards, so I'll probably bring my 6mm...

Those are absolutely gorgeous shots! You're encouraging to me, because I was wondering if the gear I'm bringing to the RIAT air show will be adequate -- looks like I might be alright. I grew up watching the Blue Angels pretty much every year in Seattle. That festival must be one of the...

Just out of curiosity... Anyone going to RIAT this year? It'll be my first, and I'm pretty excited... Just got my OM-1, and trying to decide whether to go with my 40-150mm f/2.8 with the MC-20, or rent a 100-400mm...
