As I said to Joe in a PM just now, I've turned into a pixel whore. I no longer care if the image has any worth creatively, I am just so in love with zooming in to 100mp files.... and I find that quite interesting because that enormous detail is in itself a creative pleasure. Some of these look incredible zoomed in, and as huge prints would have a certain fascination just for that reason, even though had I shot them on a small sensor camera I'd have flagged them 'reject'...

Well thank you again Quentin. Yours have been valuable posts for me. I have a 645Z, but find myself looking for an additional camera that is smaller without sacrificing too much in quality. I still use a Sigma DP2 occasionally, and as impressive as it is, I find it too limiting. I have seriously considered the Sony, but you and Michiel and others have convinced me about the K-1. Mine is on the way. I may try the Irix before the Pentax 15-30mm to keep the system as compact as possible.

Hi Tom,I have the IRIX and I must say the lens is quiet big/fat as well.That is the reason I almost never take it with me.
Besides it is somehow quiet hard to focus.
If I did not have the FA 20/2.8 I certainly would give the Samyang 20mm a try.

My K-1 arrived yesterday; I must say it's a bit larger and denser than I expected. Thanks for the tip on the Irix; I have a Pentax M 20mm from my LX days and will try that lens first.

Spring in the vines. 645Z, 150-300mm (a much underappreciated lens IMHO):

The repetitive patterns in each of your images Tom are lovely and each pic is quite different too. Texture and spatial arrangement of the elements really enhances each image as well as the contrasting colors. All these elements adds to the impact. Nicely done!

That is a very nice and tiny lens and seems to do rather well on the K-1.
