Figure 1 : Bee shot taken with K5, Pentax 50mm /f1.4 vintage lens
Recently I started to take macro tube shots of bees in my area. This is quite an addicting facet of photography, I must say. I’m a rank beginner at this task, but so far have managed a few semi-interesting shots. The picture in figure 1 is one of my favorites thus far (clicking on the photo will show it enlarged on smugmug).
Figure 1: Should I go mirrorless?
When I first used my K5, I was enthralled. It was easily the most solid feeling camera I’ve ever owned. Most cameras give me the feeling that I have glass in my hand (smile) – and that I have to be careful. The K5 made me feel like I had a hatchet in my hand and that tossing it into a spiraling arc that ended on a cleaved tree trunk would do it absolutely no harm.
