35mm DA-Limited Macro
A couple of months ago I needed to chose between the DA 40mm ltd and the DA 35mm ltd. At first I wanted to buy the 35mm but since that is a macro you got a lot more features then you need since I didn't need a macro, also macros are desgined to do good at the short focus range instead of the normall...

35mm DA-Limited Macro
I suppose I was tempted by the lens because of it's sharpness. It's actually aharper than a lot of other longer focal length macro lenses, but has the added bonus of being a good focal length for normal photography. Whereas I'm unlikely to use a 100mm macro as a standard lens because it would only r...

35mm DA-Limited Macro
In terms of working distance; it says that the minimum focus distance is 13cm, is that from the tip of the lens to the subject, or is the working distance less than the stated focus distance. The focus distance is always the distance from the subject to the sensor, so the distance to the end of the ...

Maybe your K100D had a minor front/back focus problem - it does happen from time-to-time :wink:

Snow
I went out in the snow before 8am this morning and took 159 photos. I used the DA*16-50 on my K20D as it is the only lens I have with weather sealing. The weather sealing was really necessary. It was still snowing then and out in the woods I got dumped on a couple of times with snow falling off t...

Snow
Talking about the snow - yesterday late evening (about 9pm) I took my bike, went to the town centre and took few pictures. But it was some snow / rain drizzling, quite unpleasant. What worse it was geting onto the lens all the time. I used DA 16-45mm - it has quite a short hood. Any ideas for a futu...

Snow
Weahte sealing is great, especially in torrential rain after a concert in the middle of nowhere (Ilfracombe) walking back to the hotel on a dark path using the built in flash as a torch in 'strobe' focusing mode. The flash is just as sealed as the rest of the camera! Sadly no snow here in Plymout...

advice on change in tempratures (from outside to inside)(inside to out side)
When it's cold outside (like now) take a plastic bag with you and let that get as cold as the camera does; when you return home put the camera in the bag and seal it up, then leave the camera somewhere cool so it can gradually come back to room temperature - hopefully you'll minimise condensation an...

Gotta love your K10D
Just showed a died in the wool Canon user my photostream. His reaction was and I quote: "Nice and sharp. Do you use manual focus?"

Gotta love your K10D
Hi. If he is a dedicated Canon user he is used to doing it manualy. Notice on lens tests when they used a Canon to test the Tamron f2.8 70-200mm they had focus problems, I have got one on my Pentax K20 and never had a problem I wonder why?:wink:8)8)8)

Remove the pin first. Otherwise it will get caught in the AF hole. It is then a matter of nerve to twist back off. Here is the pin that needs to be removed. I just use a dremel.

PENTAX K-m Digital SLR & SMC 18-55mm DA L Lens
I'm surprised that these new cameras already are available as refurbished :!: Refurbs can be quite common. Used at an exhibition for example, or one that was purchased, and then returned to the dealer under the distance selling regulations. They cannot resell as new - although some unscrupulous...

PENTAX K-m Digital SLR & SMC 18-55mm DA L Lens
The 2 year warrantee in this case effectively costs £40 - which is not bad, though you're unlikely to need it if the camera is OK to begin with. As for quality, I would expect a lower chance of trouble with a refurbished camera than a new one because it's had a double check. Don't forget that bra...

K-m at sensible price?
Have just seen that Currys are doing the K-m with an 18-55 for £361.99 with the £50 cash back to follow. It may seem a little high until you realise that they are also including a 50-200 lens with it.

Thanks Womble, Yes, the K-m cash back has only just started and goes through to mid April. It is a good deal at Currys with the 50-200 - which is £109 at SRS. SRS - who will supply with a 2 year warranty, have the K-m at £369 or £429 with the extra lens which is still a good deal. Sor...
