Merry "Pentax" Christmas 2!

As per the blog entry I made yesterday, here's what we got as a replacement for my wife's "old" camera...

The Pentax Optio H90. Of course, Pentax! Need to say more? Hahahaha :D

 

 

By the way, I got this "new baby" at Camerahaus Glorietta 5 branch. And through the help of Mr. Jonathan Sia (Camerahaus owner and PinoyPentaxian [PiPen] supporter), I was able to acquire it with some discount.  Thanks Sir Jonathan! :-)

Now, my wife's more than eligible to wear one of my PiPen shirts. I had two (black and white), and she likes to wear the black most. Aside for being a little small for me, it fits much better on her.

She's now also a "Pentax" shooting buddy aside from being a wife to me. Don't also forget my daughter that'll be for sure, she'll be tagging the "hands-me-down" "old" "new toy" of hers. ;-P

   

Olympus Mu (mju) 300 Retirement?

Finally, after serving my wife for more than a year, and after getting a "new baby" as a replacement, I guess it's time for this baby to retire. Unless...; my daughter wants to use it so we can all have our "own" camera, and she can eventually start learning & hopefully enjoy this photography thingy.

I know!!! We know that this is somehow old (but still a capable device), but it's actually a hands-me-down camera from my wife's foreign friend/office colleague, Terry Wallis. So, who we are to refuse and complain? :D If ever, this would be a hands-me-down of a hands-me-down camera for my daughter if she wishes to use and toy it with.

Now, what camera replacement we got? I'll post it on my next blog. ;-P

Pentax 35mm f/2.4 Lens

The SMC Pentax-DA 35mm F2.4 AL is a budget lens sold for only $219.95 from Pentax, meaning it will likely be even cheaper from other retailers. This lens features SP coating. The DA 35mm is available in 12 different colors. Despite being labeled as a DA lens (as opposed to DA L), it does NOT feature quick-shift focusing, and has a plastic bayonet as well as no distance scale on the focusing ring.

Unlike its previous brothers, the DA 35mm f/2.8 Limited Macro and the classic FA 35mm f/28 AL, this nice little gem uses a plastic mount as stated above, hence this is called a DA-L type of lens. As said from some reviews, Pentax used the "almost" same optics/glass elements of FA 35mm f/2.8 AL on this and thus was said to be the re-incarnation of the said FA lens.


Right now, I'm really bent on owning this lens and might ask somebody to buy it for me elsewhere, as the info I got that there's no definite date yet when it will be released by a local distributor here. I can't afford to get either the DA 35mm f/2.8 Limited Macro nor the FA 35mm f/28 AL even with the price of a second-hand. And I'm also really drooling on the output it shows from this reviews.

I'm not a naughty boy, Santa. So...

Merry "Pentax" Christmas!

My 7th PPG

After waiting for more than 2 weeks with 3 rejected pictures out of 4 I submitted, finally, the last remaining pic gets approved and can now be seen here.

Every now and then, whenever I think I have picture/s that is worth submitting to Pentax Photo Gallery, I submit them whether it's a single picture or more than that . So far I have 7 images in that gallery.

Image submission in PPG is not a photo contest, rather an individual online gallery of Pentax users all over the world. The submitted picture/s before being displayed will be subjected by voting process of Pentaxians on the users list excluding the one who submitted the picture/s. So you will somehow gauge how your picture pleases the others. ;-P
