Message: <blockquote data-quote="vincechu" data-source="post: 17772" data-attributes="member: 355">Ray - thanks for the heads up RE hyperfocus on the LX5 - your tip should come in handy in situations where I need more DOF and especially when I'm trying to maximise DOF and sharpness for crisper photos, I've been occassionally plagued abit by poor use of DOF.Stillshunter - Thanks, I consider myself very fortunate with my pentax gear. I got the K5 on a cashback offer which saved me 10% off the most competitive price I could find, and found an amazing deal on the 31ltd new (1/3 off the usual price!), sold my Panny G1 and saved up since last summer until Feb to afforded the K5 and 31. At times I feel I'm not worthy of such great gear (and at times consider selling it), which is why I can often be found asking for C&C on my photos or asking questions about technical aspects of my photography. Thanks for the heads up about your gear, I'm still feeling the pinch from buying the K5 and 31ltd, but maybe the exchange rate will help me out when you come to sell. Gear is always a matter of personal preference and you're right, shoot with what you're happy - gear is but a tool, its the photographer who counts. Btw your friend has some absolute stunners in the pentax gallery! his shots with the K100D put me and my K5 to shame lolAntonio - many thanks, I shall keep an eye out for his work and posts on the forum.Peter - some good points there. I totally agree about using a prime and shooting from the hip. I find a prime helps me to know roughly what will be captured even without using the viewfinder.</blockquote>
