<p>Thought I'd get this started. I'll try and post later if I get through my grading.</p>

<p>I bought a K-01, as I was finding the IQ of the Q degraded too sharply with rising ISO. But holy heck the K-01 is big! As large as my *ist DS, and a little heavier. Easy to see why it wasn't embraced. I haven't used it too much yet, but it does seem like a fun camera.</p><div></div>

<p>I got a DA 40mm limited to go with it, as I had one a long time ago and liked it more than the XS I tried a while after that. These shots are all with that lens.</p><div></div>

<p>Finally a selfie. I've been trying to learn how to use LightZone, a free program with a lot of power - perhaps too much. This was processed as "High Key Portrait" and I like how it came out.</p><div></div>

<p>I want to add an extra fun picture of mine post processed in black and white.

<p>Rekindling my enjoyment of my stash of K-mount lenses in anticipation of the K-3's arrival fairly soon. And getting in last licks with my faithful K20D before passing it onto my daughter. If anyone has the kit zoom in very good condition, please PM me.</p>

<p>well, I missed out on last week's POW, some outstanding pictures there !<br>

And this week seems to surpass that, so let me hurry to be one of this crew...</p>

Almere, Netherlands. It is at 5 meters below sealevel<br>

Don't get me wrong, however, I don't like modern skylines :) </p>

<p>guus, that Almere photograph is awesome. It would look so elegant printed at 48 inches.</p>
