FA35 price
£690 park cameras, £619 at srs...that's heavily overpriced - i suppose those salesmen will come back to common sense when they realize nobody will buy that lens at those prices....no way

FA35 price
I bought mine for about £250 new a few years ago. I suspect these are a small number of unsold stock from the back of a warehouse somewhere, as it is not on the Pentax roadmap. I doubt it is production any more. At that price it is my second most valuable lens now (after the 60-250 - for which I...

Lack of Sharpness
I would think it very unlikely that the lens is the cause of the issue you are describing. It is possible the autofocus is not correctly adjusted (this afflicted my first K-x very badly and it back-focussed all the time until I found out how to adjust it in the Debug Menu). I don't know how old ...

Lack of Sharpness
We really need to know what aperture and shutter speed you are using, and how you are viewing the images (windows image viewer, for example, is terrible for viewing high resolution images and will appear soft until you zoom in to a 100% view and then back out again)...

Pentax K 85mm f1.8 Initial Impressions
I didn't mean to imply you needed a PEN for stabilisation, since obviously our Pentax bodies do that as well. I only meant to say you wouldn't need to give up stabilisation to get the automatic metering, which you would with all other brands. I have great fun shooting my FA Limiteds on a PEN body...

D.I.Y tilt shift lens
Is the lens fixed to f/1.8 aperture, and set to infinity and you focus with by physically moving the whole lens? And how did you bond to the K-mount body cover? :? Might reuse an aged 50mm f/2 M42 Pentax lens.... :D Thanks! Matt

D.I.Y tilt shift lens
Would an enlarge lens do the job? Just thinking out loud..... Yes they work OK, but for wider angle tilt/shift (certainly anything less than 50mm focal length) the lens ends up very close to the body, limiting movement. Retro focus designs used in SLR wide angles are probably much more user friendly...

Longer lens for safari?
I have the chance to go to South Africa early next year. I don't usually tend to need a longer lens these days and have recently sold my Pentax 18-250mm in favour of lighter kit due to health issues (DA 40mm ltd - can't get much lighter) I'm not going to get up close and personal with much South ...

Longer lens for safari?
I'm not sure about the lenses you mention but I went to Zambia a couple years ago and the majority of my images we're at 300mm. This is enough for most animals though I could have used something longer for birds. Do you already own the DA*200mm? If so you may be better spending the money on a T...
