HD PENTAX-D FA ★ 70-200mm F2.8
Two grand then MIke? Too much for me, however much I salivate over it but no more expensive than the CaNikSon ones, all sounds very nice but I'm limiting myself to spending around £1200 on gear every year which means a new APSC body or a couple of reasonable seconhand lenses, I just can't justify a...

HD PENTAX-D FA ★ 70-200mm F2.8
Two grand then MIke? I'm guessing so and maybe 2.5k for the 150-450mm. I recently sold my Siggy 100-300mm f4 and I still have the cash from the K-3 and grip (plus I sold a couple of other lenses) so can afford one or the other. I have the Sigma 70-200mm 2.8 OS and tbh although it's a cracking len...

HD PENTAX-D FA ★ 70-200mm F2.8
It'll not matter because the new body will come with clairvoyant focus, and will know where the subject is before it arrives! :wink::lol: That was the claim for 'Predictive AF' in the '90s. The camera would work out how fast the subject was moving relative to it and set the focus for where the subje...

HD PENTAX-D FA ★ 70-200mm F2.8
Yeah, it may just please Gary but only if he can have the 70-200 with it and they give it a focus system that goes down to EV -3, he Gigs in some pretty dark places it seems...:wink: 9 new Lenses, is a fair chunk, seems the beast has awoke! Hope they don't forget all about us poor APSC folks, like ...

Film Era Lenses - Image Assessments Please
Well if it came to it you could always buy some more Samyang lenses. They are modern designs, FF (I think) and don't cost an arm and a leg. You evidently don't mind manual focus and are already getting great results from your 14mm. Having said that I suspect you would get very acceptable results fro...

Film Era Lenses - Image Assessments Please
It's important to realise that all lenses have aberrations, these are present whether you use film or a sensor. For the same frame size, these aberrations are likely to be much more significant to reductions in IQ than any difference due to film versus sensor. It is also important to realise that ab...

Pentax HD PENTAX-D FA 150-450mm F4.5-5.6 ED DC AW & HD PENTAX-D FA* 70-200mm F2.8 ED DC AW Lenses
I can't see any point in the Limiter at 6M / 20 ft..... That's usually about as close as you can sneak up on a bird before it flys off. I can hear the complaints on here already that the lens is stuttering and hunting and won't focus :shock: :lol: 4M would have been better. --

full frame with old lenses
If Pentax don't un-cripple the K-mount for this camera it will be a crime. Imagine being able to use all the old M and K series primes as you would on an old film camera - either metered manual or A modes. People who want a digital Leica but can't afford one would flock to it. That sounds amazing!...

full frame with old lenses
I think many DA lenses will work well on full frame. Indeed, all of the DA primes from 35mm (except the 35macro) are believed to be full frame compatible - some might show some slight vignetting but that's no biggie. You still might find with the wider primes that whilst you get vignetting you...

full frame with old lenses
Mmmm. Very true. Well my FA 35mm f2 and 50mm 1.7 will surely be a great start , it would be just such a shame to part my beloved 16-50. We'll just have to wait and see. Maybe they might come out with some new system in ff the makes the DA 's fully compatible???I think many DA lenses will work well o...

I thought the green rings on the lens barrel was being replaced with red ones. On the 2 lenses just released they are back to green. I wondered if Ricoh/Pentax have changed there mind or is there some new methodology . Any ideas Jeff
