My Nikon D200
I never said I would carry it all at once. I guess another option is to forget about the limited lenses, sell the Pentax, get a Nikon D40 and Nikkor prime lenses loosing auto focus on the D40. It would be a great small kit but of course I couldn't post here anymore.:)

K10D with lens for £500
Then by your logic we should see it cheaper in about a month???!!! We can only hope! Wonder if they'd do the body only for £50 less....hmmm :wink: SRSmicrosystems have body only for 449 pounds. I'm hoping they drop the price in Holland too - this is the first time the UK has been cheaper than...

Tokina 500mm mirror lens + use with DL2
For the same size of final image, you have to enlarge the digital image one and a half times more than the film image. That increases the camera shake by the same amount. I thought I'd understood all this :( Is it not the case that if you take a picture with the same lens of the same thing at ...

Tokina 500mm mirror lens + use with DL2
And for your supplementary question Chris, the answer is yes, exactly the same distance. Going back to your first question, you're right in that an object will be the same 'size' on film or digital, but imagine that you took a photo of a tennis ball, using a film body and a K10D, using the same l...

Tokina 500mm mirror lens + use with DL2
I've got one of the Tokina 500mm F8 mirror lenses and I've used it no problem with my DS. I posted a few pictures of my first attempts (all handheld) with the combination at - overall I was quite impressed with the lenses sharpness and close focusing abilities - the handling was fine and the ca...

K10d Body £449
That's a remarkable price and £150.00 less than I paid SRS for mine back in January. Serves me right for wanting (rather than needing) one so early I guess. I could buy a second body I suppose . . . . Hmmmm.

K10d Body £449
I noticed last night that the K10D at SRS has gone back up to £435.... Do you think they made a boo boo? I'm glad that I got mine last week :D Now do you think he'd drop the price of the Sigma 17-70, Bristol cameras are doing it for £215 (when it's in stock). Thanks Chris Harry

Lenses for Pentax K100D
The closest lens I have to your spec. is the SMCP-FA 28-200mm, a fine performer if I can only take one lens. Back in my film days even though I had FA* lenses and F2.8 zooms I often just used one of the FA 28-200's for days out with the family (who aren't tolerant of constant lens changing) and I...

Image quality of Pentax in question ???
Here's a picture I took of a pineapple. It's either I need glasses or it is out of focus to me :shock:

Here's a picture I took of a pineapple. It's either I need glasses or it is out of focus to me :shock: Interesting suggestion. I don't think so. The camera didn't think so, either. It was a long exposure, so it's possible there was some shake. But I wonder if we're just used to seeing thing...

Image quality of Pentax in question ???
Just for reassurance, please could a few have a gander at these, and tell me whether it looks out of focus, as was suggested earlier? The only difference between the two is USM (amount 95, radius 3, threshold 3). If they are, and it's not shake, then there's something wrong with eith...

Image quality of Pentax in question ???
Looks like there's still a slight touch of mis-focus at the bottom end - it might not have been square (:P But then when was the last time you saw a square fruit? :?) Very likely. Not much DOF, even at small apertures. The lighting should've been more diffused and from one side (with a refle...

smc FA 50mm f/1.4
...and I see the 'digital' filters as purely a marketing trick to get people to upgrade from their 'analogue' ones. Anything in front of the last surface of the back element in the lens (the special anti-reflection coating to reduce ghosting from the extra reflective CCD), is as far as I can see no...

smc FA 50mm f/1.4
Talking about filters, I'd like to apply for the "Tuesday muppet award". I've put a UV filter and a thicker lens cap on the Pentax 400mm I acquired recently, and I was just thinking, hmm I wonder if it still fits in the case. So I slipped it into the case, and lo and behold, the top ...

smc FA 50mm f/1.4
Dan, You're probably right of course. It'll be way beyond economical repair. Confine it to the back of a drawer until you have had the 50mm 1:1.4 for a while. Then say, in a surprised (well practiced) fashion, "Is that where I put that old duff Pentax lens ! ! !, might as well have a go at r...

smc FA 50mm f/1.4
It arrived this morning and I think I'm in love... :oops: :D First shot was this: Wide open, 1/10s. Not the best composition I'll be the first to admit, but that depth of field is next to nothing, and the out of focus areas... :D Practically melt in the mouth. Thanks to all at SR...
