Da* lenses
There's been little mention of the 60-250 f4 here. How do people rate it or isn't it a lens you would consider for whatever reason you might have. I've started thinking about it to replace my Sigma 70-300 which is disappointing. It's slow to focus & IQ, particularly at the long end, pretty ordina...

Da* lenses
:cry:Hated zooms until I met the 50-135 DA* and now the superlative 60-250 DA* (wow = I say it every time I see the results) However, I described the 50-135 as the best lens I have ever owned - I have most of the DA* and an assortment of other Current Pentax and independents (Tamron / Sigma T...

Da* lenses
I've got the 16-50, the 50-135 , 60-250 and the 300. All have been exceptional, except the 60-250. Its just lies in the cupboard. Then comes out every 6 months when there is a thread saying how good it is. It came out yesterday and I was again disappointed. So back in the cupboard it goes. Co-...

Da* lenses
I have the 16-50, 60-250 and 300... Both the zooms have had failed SDM, the 300 sulks from lack of use. When the zooms came back from JSPS they went from being very good to absolutely superb. Definitely worth the investment. Would I buy the 50-135? No, I have primes that cover that range ...

Da* lenses
I have the 16-50mm/50-135mm/60-250mm/300mm and have had the 55mm and 200mm. I have to say by far my most used lens is the 60-250mm which I have loved since the day I got it. The 50-135mm is (I think) the fourth copy I have had ... having swapped back and forward between it and the Sigma 50-150mm...

Pentax 10-17mm Fisheye Zoom
This is my latest acquisition, and although previously I've used one and found it not my cup of tea, having used the Q Fisheye I'm feeling more well disposed towards it, so I do have some uses for it now. The moral of that is never sell lenses unless you really need to, you just might come back to t...

Pentax 10-17mm Fisheye Zoom
Lovely shot Ray. I know the spot, but only had the Sigma 10-20 at the time. Next time I am back there I will be taking the fisheye :D

Pentax 10-17mm Fisheye Zoom
Lovely shot Ray. I know the spot, but only had the Sigma 10-20 at the time. Next time I am back there I will be taking the fisheye :D Thanks! I was actually thinking of chopping the FE in for something like the 10-20 as I'd make more use of it...

Can Nikon AF Lenses be used on Pentax K10D?
No af, no exif, no infinity. Personally I would stick them on Ebay and once sold buy the same lenses back in Pentax mount with the proceeds.

No af, no exif, no infinity. Personally I would stick them on Ebay and once sold buy the same lenses back in Pentax mount with the proceeds. you sure about no ∞ ? - The Nikon registration distance is greater. I remember my canon shooting buddy putting a Canon f.1,2 FD ( I think ) on his EO...

Pentax Lenses
I live just a couple of miles from Langley and have just got back from a few beers and was talking to someone who showed me a press release ... Ricoh are about to announce that they will be making the Pentax DA* range of lenses to fit Canon and Nikon bodies. Some are already full frame compatib...

In defence of the DA* 16-50
When I bought this lens a year ago I struggled with it. I wanted something else - something uniformly sharp across the frame, or so I thought. I subsequently bought a couple of primes in the range and have been very happy with them (DA 20 & 40). However, this winter I decided to have a concerted eff...

In defence of the DA* 16-50
Roger that was my view, initially. Now I am glad it isn't. (I wonder if it was deliberate in the design ?) Uniform across the frame can be a little boring at times, I now sometimes find. It's a shame it's a heavy lens, as I now feel compelled to lug it around with the primes. I thought I'd u...
