SMC Pentax-FA 100mm F2.8 Macro Help
When I first used my 55-300 on my K3iii at the weekend it wouldn't auto focus, hunting badly, and on Auto and Av set the speed to 1/2000 resulting in dark images. It was ok in manual focus and correctly set the speed. As all other lenses were working fine I guessed it was the lens electrical conta...

17-17 f2.8 or 17-70 f.28-f4 for Pentax camera
Hi, So my Tamron 17-17 f2.8 lens is dying. Won't focus at many focal lengths. I focus at one length & then zoom in or out & try to focus again. Doesn't always work. I sent it to be repaired once (Boards guy in Wicklow) and may have worked. It's over 10 years old, best to replace it probably. ...

Back in the fold and my first Pentax equipment failure!
16-85mm up the spout, chronic overexposure in all modes, been driving me nuts, I'd decided it was the Camera but it doesn't happen with any of the PLM glass I have, so it's going away to be replaced by something different? Bit disappointed but it happens... TBC

Unusual for the 16-85mm ... I know there have been a few de-centred lenses but never heard of one giving up like that. On another note I ordered a K-3 MKIII five minutes ago. :shock:

I'd decided it was the Camera but it doesn't happen with any of the PLM glass I have The camera isn't ruled out yet. Don't bin the 16-85 until you've checked whether it happens with other non-PLM lenses - if it does, it's the camera not the lens. And if you know anyone nearby who has a Pentax, ask...

Does it overexpose wide open?

Does it overexpose wide open? Gone back from whence it came now, if it don't work I don't hang onto it, I now have a dilemma, do I buy a 16-50 PLM which kind of ties me to APSC, or Marantha's K1 and his 28-105??? K3 MkIII is a world away from anything that has come before, loving it so far!

Sorry to hear about your 16-85 Jules...keep considering this lens but it does seem to have its share of problems and just a shame its not a bit faster ...
