Continuing to work with the Pentax K-01:
This claim check fell out of one my suitcases - a very old suitcase - so I snapped a photo of it. Pentax Mz-S, Lensbaby Muse, Tri-X,D76 1+1:

Here are some more snow crystals from last weekend, February 2-3, 2013. I’ve shifted to the Pentax K-01 exclusively for this work. The image quality is outstanding (same APS sensor as in the Pentax K5) and the focusing aids make it a breeze to get quickly get the crystals in sharp focus. I’ve also come to see just how much diffraction affects these shots - so no more stopping down past f8!
No cold weather snow is in the forecast so it might be a while before we have more snowflake photos:
A few more from recent days - more to come. Click an image for a larger file.

Here are a few more snow crystals shots - taken this morning (February 2). After a little bit of experimentation, I bought a Pentax K-01 mirrorless camera to use for snow crystals. Being able to focus using the screen on the back of the camera, aided by focus peaking and being able to magnify the image, is a tremendous boon. And the K-01 image quality is astoundingly good. It helped me have a very product morning! :D
Here are a few shots - more to follow in the next few days. Click an image for a larger file.
