Voigtlander Nokton 58mm/F1.4 SL II fit Pentax PK
I have one. It's a gorgeous lens and a different animal from the run of the mill lens. Its more akin to the 55mm F1.4 pentax (and probably the SMC, M, A 50mm lenses too) than the 70mm. The 70mm has a teeny tiny focus ring and is not really suited to manual operation and it lacks the wider apert...

Ultimate collection of lenses that you would like
Well I will begin exactly where I started with the 'seven lenses' thread. The first three I already have, the next two I intend to get within the next year, finances permitting, and anything further down the list than that becomes increasingly pipe-dreamy (and unnecessary). Tamron 17-50mm F/2.8 -...

18-55 50-200 Pentax Kit Lens.
I have the two Pentax kit lens, the 18-55 and the 50-200, both purchased with the K10D in 2007. Both these lens are a bit on the soft focus side, with the K10D and with the K5 purchased this year. The question please, is the new 18-55 and 50-200 AL WR, lens, apart from being weather resistant,...

18-55 50-200 Pentax Kit Lens.
What sharpening method do you use? I ask as both lenses mentioned are sharp stopped down and we shouldn't expect images to look soft focus.

18-55 50-200 Pentax Kit Lens.
I think the 18-55II or WR is fractionally improved, but I think you'd have to look quite hard for the difference. The 50-200mm WR is the same design as the old one. What lenses are you comparing to, when you say they are 'soft focus'? How are you viewing/editing the pictures, or are you talking a...

18-55 50-200 Pentax Kit Lens.
I can only echo what others have said. I am using both the 18-55 and the 50-200 and I am not seeing any significant issues with focus.

Many thanks to all for your helpful advice. To answer the points raised. John. I use Photoshop elements 4, for storing my images, but never really used, the various adjustments, don’t really know if sharpening is an option with elements 4. Ken. Sorry, but I don’t have the necessary compu...

18-55 50-200 Pentax Kit Lens.
Wim. No I have not tried fine tuning the focus on the K5, don’t really want to mess with the factory settings, as it is ok with other lens. (Pentax 100mm macro). Contrary to the K10D (with debug), the K5 allows individual adjustments for a large number of lenses (I think up to 20). Adjustment of ...

Interesting article on _ Getting a good copy
It's all a bit too much for me - I just look at my pictures and decide whether or not they look sharp! I was interested in the bit that said a camera will autofocus slightly differently on exactly the same spot if you take it out of focus then refocus again. I have noticed this quite clearly with ...

Chinon auto zoom lens.
2x converter will double the focal length whilst keeping the minimum focus distance the same. It will also lose two stops of light. Most converters are poor, a few are acceptable, a very few are as expensive as any other lens and are exemplary. I would expect your old zoom and converter to be not...

Chinon auto zoom lens.
:D Thanks very much, John. I've had my K-r ten days or so now but have only used it in the back garden, just messing about. I've spent the rest of my time messing with the menus. I'm sure that I'll figure it all out sometime. Like your good self, John, I wear spectacles. Mine are varifoculs and l...

OMG ! OMG ! OMG !
Just had a read of that post on the other forum. Reads just a bit iffy to me ... 5.32 he is on his way to get it and back posting at 6.06. Only 1/4 mile drive but he has to go both ways, negotiate for the included tripod, test the lens (anyone would test it first I would have thought) get back an...

OMG ! OMG ! OMG !
But I would have tested it when I got home if not there. I certainly wouldn't have gone back to post on the forum first. Looking at his previous posts he says he has a K-5 but now it's a k-7. Hope the guy did get a bargain but the post just looks a little too contrived and he seems too calm fo...

Yes it is pretty slow to focus but trouble is you start to look at serious money for the faster focusing lenses (not that any of them are particularly speedy on the present Pentax bodies).

Pentax SMC A 50mm F2 Information please
I have been looking to buy a prime lens to try and have been offered this one for £10. Looks very clean with no fungus. Everyone says it will work with my K-r and I know its manual focus. Is it worth a punt. Thanks Les

Pentax SMC A 50mm F2 Information please
Well I now own a prime. Picked it up late last night so not much chance to try it yet. Its very clean with both caps and a couple of test shots seem to be OK. I now need to get to grips with manual focus and no zoom. Thank for all the advice. Les
