Pentax DA* lenses for sale, DA*300, DA*60-250, DA*50-135
Can you disable the SDM on any of these lenses - and if so do they focus quicker? As far as I know its not possible. At least without fiddling contacts or something with a screw driver. Something I definitely wouldn't want to do.

Yes, I agree. The IQ of these lenses is superb, but that alone doesn't justify me keeping them. I really haven't been using them and I am sure you will agree that its better they find a better home with someone who can put them to a better use. I will consider negotiating with someone who has a S...

Just reading through some of your comments, and I have to ask the question, how p***ed off are you guys, after spending big bucks, sorry, pounds on a lens, only to find out it focusses slower than a wet week. Look, just get a nice little sigma 70-300 and stop whinging. You blokes have far too much ...

Your doing the right thing. One reason I love my Sigma 70-200EX is that it can focus pretty fast. To keep glass that your not happy with, for whatever reason, will effect your results. I run other systems alongside my Pentax kit but never, NOT have a Pentax with me. Regards Gary, I have been run...

It would be great to be able to select screw drive in the menu just to compare. I suspect that it should be easily done but that Pentax might have other reasons for not making that feature available :? You can use them on the K10D in screw drive by flashing firmware back to 1.2 apparently.

I rarely take pictures of fast moving things so I am not bothered by the speed of the DA* 50-135mm but I can fully appreciate it is very slow. The cheapo Tammy 70-300mm is much quicker, but a quite a bit noisier too. If I had 900 quid spare I'd have the 300mm off you but it is out of my range ri...

Hi Dave, The macro rail came pretty soon, and it was in a good shape - practically as new. I have a Novoflex rail, too, but it is adjustable in one direction only. So this Rokunar is a nice supplement. Thanks! Regards, Risto
