Poppy mania [5 imgs]
Thanks for your comments! I agree that dof of #2 should have been shallower, I'm only learning my ways with the 10-17 fisheye (great fun, though). With any other lens I have at my disposal getting that close to the flower everything else would have been completely blurred. I don't have a bug cl...

New K100D Super
Like Staying in business? It's tough out there, and getting market share matters to us all. Yes. Yes it does. Where exactly did I say I don't want Pentax to increase market share? I said I would like Pentax to focus on existing customers as well as potential new ones. More to the point, I also said ...

New K100D Super
As I said in an earlier post , entry level DSLR's should be viewed as a consumer electronics product, and as such we can expect every advanced feature to be added, until every man and his dog has got one (VTR parallel). The majority of people buying will not be particularly interested in photograp...

New K100D Super
I thought I was reading another forum. No need to mention which. Actually it wasn't Dpreview. It was PentaxForums. And as far as I'm concerned, blind brand loyalty and applauding absolutely everything the company ever does, while refusing to accept that any criticism may be valid (which is what was...

New K100D Super
What nonsense. You went totally over the top because Pentax had the temerity to release an upgrade to an existing model... No. I made criticisms because Pentax made only a very minor upgrade to an existing model. I went over the top because of nonsense I read about what a wonderful and fantastic th...

is the 18-55 a MACRO lens?
Hello Frenk, No this lens does not have a macro facility, but it can focus down to 25cm from the lens, so you can get in reasonably close to an item.

is the 18-55 a MACRO lens?
The macro setting on many zoom lenses is misleading as few focus closer than 1:4 magnification ( a quarter life size). Macro means 1:1 or life size images. This can be achieved with one of the Pentax macro lenses, either the 50mm or the 100mm. The 18-55mm kit lens does focus very close however, a...

is the 18-55 a MACRO lens?
Macro lenses is an area where Pentax compatibility helps as you can buy on older manual focus lens and give macro a try without spending lots of cash. I'm using an old K-mount 55mm F2.8 Vivitiar macro with 1:1 capability and it's been getting decent results with my DS:

Please look at this person's shots...
Yes with the lens too. I sold mine, it had dust on the inside of the lens behind the front elements, the lens was only 2 months old, so I gave it back to the shop whence it was bought. I often wonder if that was just a bad lens I got, or if zoom lenses tend towards gathering quickly of internal dust...
