A35 mm with two tubes about 65mm with flash and liveview cos working distance is too close, maybe about 1 cm.

Donald, are you back from oversea posting?


Ok, got some keepers this time cos this Js was posing for me in various angles, seems tamed. So i took 20 over shots with flash light and so some are very sharp without PP. Will try to post some others later.

I like the way you cropped the shot, kind of compose it as well;).

Took this in alexandra hospital buttrfly park but could not find butt evening time.

Quite a rare find for Js to be almost still, curioius and looking at my direction.:)

After handling the camera on Sat, I think its a fantastic camera and a winner for Pentax.
Its not really that big nor heavy wrt some of the 135 format options out there.
Really top end wrt to medium format options with its usability which is more like a DSLR than a Medium format camera.

ISO100, was incredibly low noise.
Very impressive.

tks for your time, 3 children and I understand time is precious especially all are growing, youngest being a yr old. I appreciate your time and Bernard as well for coming down to yishun.

I also notice you have 3 big dry cabinet housing lots of lenses and camera body. I have only 2 boxes. Letting go some lense to fund 645Z, should not be a problem, if you are willing to let go some exotic lenses.;)

Good for portraiture I am sure. and Bernard Yeo, letting go, your L lenses??:bsmilie::bsmilie:

post process with lightroom 5.6.

actual image, very dark cos its about 7 pm taken without flash. Interesting how lightroom could enhance the final image. seems a lot of features to explore.

Nice you of the MP to get both environmental and tighter portrait type shot. :)
