Pentax K-5 Pentax(/Tamron) 18-250mm ISO1600 1/3200 f/11
Trying out a (new to me) K-5 from an op shop at a price too good to ignore. Really nice handling camera. I forgot to reset ISO. Really like the colours.

Busy food hall.
Shot with a Nikkor 105mm f2.5 (RF version) I softened the colors for a more pastel effect.

I was recently going through an M9 album and struck by the colors. Yes, they are a bit over the top but they are lovely and they do catch the eye. They draw you in. I think that both the M8 and the M240 have colors less saturated/strong and the recent Q3 has nice color but it is always hard to capture the magic of the old CCD sensors.

So I strung together four shots: M8.2, M9, M240, Q3 43. They are just "shots" with everyday color but illustrate the subtle power of these Leicas. I certainly complain about Leica as much or more than anyone but they are also a "git 'er done" camera, one that works almost always when used. And they have nice color. So while not perfect they are pretty good.

OK, two pics here and two in the next panel. Four are not allowed in one post, three yes, four no.
