New Lenses: Tests

I recently acquired two new lenses. It takes some time to become familiar with a new lens. I'm not yet fully comfortable with these, as more testing is required to find sweet spots, etc. However, when a new lens arrives, I can hardly wait to open the box and try it out. Below are a few test shots.

DA 40mm f/2.8 Limited
DA 17-70mm f/4 SDM

Equipment

I don't know what it is about photographers' equipment nicely arranged in a picture that draws me to it. I've always been interested in the various assortment of camera gear other people use. So maybe there are others out there who would like to see what I use. I took this image yesterday using my wife's camera.

The equipment in my hands most often are the Pentax K10D attached to a 43mm f/1.9 Limited FA Pentax lens, and an AF-540 FGZ flash. I use various filters, and all the lenses in the photo above have filters attached to them.
