Pentax 18-250 Lens Finally Came In…
Well, I decided that I wanted a lens for my Pentax K10D that spanned the 18 to 200 or better range and I wanted good quality. Having been told that Pentax was releasing the 18-250 at the end of October I placed my order for it Mid-October. Well as usually Pentax wasn’t close to shipping on time, but finally they got it out and Amazon.com got it shipped and I got it today. I have taken a couple of test run shots with it and I can say like with my other Pentax lenses (I only own Pentax brand lenses as I have had too much trouble with other brands and their Q.C. issues) it is a winner. Surprisingly good for a lens that covers this range. It looks like my 18-55 kit lens and 50-200 will be going in to semi-retirement.
Here is one shot. They are full sized from DNG files, Saved as JPG using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 1.3.
Sorry for the lapse in posts…
Sorry folks for the lapse in posting. I have been dealing with some major medical problems with my mom. She has been on dialysis for a few months now, going 6 days a week. A couple of weeks ago I picked her up and got her home. She got really sick and I called an ambulance. By the time they got her in the ambulance her heart had stopped. She was technically dead for almost 30 seconds. They shocked her and got her back and she spent 9 days in the hospital. It turns out she had a blood clot from the dialysis catheter and it was infected. We got all that cleared up and then she had to go in for surgery to raise a vein in her arm closer to the surface so they can do the dialysis using it and she can get rid of the dialysis catheter. So I have been dealing with all of this plus taking care of the house, paying her bills, taking care of the animals and trying to get my own work done.
I think things will start to normalize now and hope to get back to posting here.
Thanks,
Robert
