DA* 50-135: A quick quesiton about the focus ring
Yes, the ring can keep turning. QuickShift is the ability to fine tune focus manually at any time, without having to engage manual focus with a switch or lever. If we find focus with a half depress of the shutter button and hold that position the manual focus ring can be used to alter the focus p...

Ok thanks guys. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't faulty or I was damaging the mechanism.

Auto Zoom Lenses???
As has been mentioned, the PZ lenses were FA lenses and were the first K-AF2 lenses (i.e. using the additional PZ/SDM contacts at 5 o'clock on the mount). They were launched with the Z-1 & Z-10 bodies, the *ist was much later (after most of the MZ series). Optically they were all good (compared with...

Pentax FA 150mm 2.8- internal noise
I noticed- just now, if I the rear element has back and forth movement- a little. So if I tilt the camera, it moves up or down the lens.

70-300mm lens, should I go for it?
Another vote for the 55-300 here; performance is very good throughout the range. The DA version has a good deep hood supplied. If you don't mind a plastic mount, losing the quick-shift focus and the hood, then the DAL version would be a cheaper option.

70-300mm lens, should I go for it?
Just to confuse the issue, I only use 4gb cards, wishing to avoid the 'all my eggs in one basket' problem should I be using a bigger card and have a card failure, lose it, whatever. I shoot RAW+JPEG on a K5ii and a K-S1, so the cards fill quickly and there's a need to keep an eye on spare capacit...

70-300mm lens, should I go for it?
I went for a Sandisk 16gb in the end. Just make sure you back up your photos immediately after every shoot and don't rely on the card for storage.

Usually transfer to Cyberlink photo Director then onto Picasa. If I uninstall Playmemorie's will that effect my picture files etc I have on the hard dri...

SDM lives !
Out with the camera this afternoon, the AF stopped on my 50-135 as I took the last shot on a windy ridge. I went through all the usual checks and walked back to the car thinking the worst. It is one of the very early copies of this lens, owned from new and has had a good deal of use and abuse as my ...

Pentax 60 -250 how good is it?
All, If you own and have used this lens can you let me know your thoughts. I would usually have a 70-200 f2.8 in my kit bag back in canon days. I'm looking for a good mid range zoom and I like the Range this offers. I think it would complement my Pentax 300+ 1.4 converter and cover a wide range f...

Pentax 60 -250 how good is it?
Up until I bought the 150-450mm the 60-250mm was my favourite Pentax lens. Sharp wide open. good reach and it works well with the 1.4x BUT It is slow to focus ( especially compared to the Canon 70-200mm f2.8 ) but then saying that I think the 300mm is slow and it's not much different to that A...

Pentax 60 -250 how good is it?
As others have said - it is a great lens but it does have it's drawbacks such as slow focusing and price. I borrowed one for several weeks while deciding whether to buy one. Eventually I instead opted for the Tamron 70-200 2.8 which is the fastest focusing zoom lens I own and I would back it...

Pentax 60 -250 how good is it?
I had a look at the DA* 60-250 on a friends K3, comparing it to my Sigma 70-200 OS HSM on my K3, I found it stiff to use and much slower to focus than the Sigma, as it was on someone else's camera I couldn't really comment on the IQ but there isn't a lot wrong with the IQ from the Sigma.
