<p>Great images, every one of them, Hin!</p>

<p>I was hoping for a more complete test of the AF -- how does it compare with K3-II or the closest Canon/Nikon competition (the D610/D750) - apparently one full day was not sufficient for that kind of test :-)</p>

<p>Hi all! Nice images from all.</p>

<p><strong>Dorus</strong>: do you mean <em>Indian or "Bollywood" </em>dancing? <em>Hindi</em> is a language.</p>

<p>Here is one from my recent trip to Cambodia -- at the Angkor Wat complex. <a title="More Selfies at Angkor Wat" href=" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/570/22726722337_70a5b7be09_b.jpg" alt="More Selfies at Angkor Wat" width="1024" height="712" /></a></p>

 

<p>Hi All,<br>

We spent a week in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambodia">Cambodia</a> -- came back today and still rummaging through the SD cards for keepers. These 3 photos are from the trip (all using K-50 and Tamron 28-75).</p>

<p>Dorus, sorry to hear that -- I see the pic ok... here is the Flickr <a href="

<p>Some great photos this week! Here is one from the south-west coast (Arabian Sea) of India. Tamron 28-75/2.8. With my old K-100D because the K-50 ran out of battery.</p>

<p>That's a great restoration job!</p>

<p>For the first issue: this is a problem for cameras of all makes as far as I know, the AF fine adjustment applies to all focal lengths. You can adjust it for your most used focal length or to the longer focal length (where DoF is shallower and focus errors will show up more -- assuming max. aperture is same).</p>

<p>For the second issue: did you set the "Apply One" value or "Apply All" value? For manual focus lenses, you should set the "Apply All" value -- unfortunately since MF lenses will not provide an ID to the camera body, one value will apply to all MF lenses.</p>

<p>For your AF lenses (that provide an ID to the camera body), the "Apply All" value will be ignored and "Apply One" value -- this can be set differently for lenses with different IDs -- will take effect.</p>

<p> Not been very active here lately; here are 3 I recently processed. All shot in Bangalore, India. All with the Pentax K-50, Tokina 20-35/3.5-4.5.</p>

<p>There is certainly an inflexion happening in the <a href="http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424127887324251504578580263719432252">market for point and shoot cameras</a>, caused wholly by smartphones becoming the everyman-photogs' preferred tool.</p>

<p >By all accounts including early tests, the new Zeiss Otus 55mm f/1.4 APO-Distagon is built without compromises and has demonstrably the best resolution of any normal lens. And it could be yours for only $4,000.</p>

<p>This is at the weekly inner city market close to downtown Bangalore. K-50 / Tamron 28-75. I haven't finished processing all the shots yet.</p>

<p>Is it necessary to offer <em>any reason whatsoever</em> for not taking up an assignment on offer? It's the photographer's time and effort, after all.</p>

<p>Here's one on my Sunday morning shoot downtown Bangalore, India. Tamron 28-75. Pentax K-50.</p>
