The K-1 mkii incorporated the accelerator chip (seen on the K-70 and K-P), which supposedly improved ISO noise. It was knocked in several reviews for being too aggressive (eating stars isn't a good look when you offer the astrotracer feature). It's a bit simplistic to say it's just a new circuit b...

Size isn't important unless the difference is significant. Many ML shooters are still using legacy glass with adapters which nullify any size advantage while crippling functionality. When I see P6x7 lenses advertised as suitable for ML systems I'm simply amazed anyone would bother. Pros and cons. ...

PENTAX FIT Sigma OS APO DG HSM 50 - 500 mm F/4.5-6.3 Lens + HOOD + BAG + BOX
Mike What's your thought (as one who has had several of these lenses) as to a "reasonable" final sale price for it? PS: Really wish I could be "interested" in buying it, but a combo of circumstances (bad back, dodgy knee, expensive holiday(s?) coming very soon, probably not really able to use...

PENTAX FIT Sigma OS APO DG HSM 50 - 500 mm F/4.5-6.3 Lens + HOOD + BAG + BOX
Mike What's your thought (as one who has had several of these lenses) as to a "reasonable" final sale price for it? Anything under £500 is a good price, it's really worth around £600 I would say. As far as I am concerned if you can't run to a 150-450mm then this is a very good second best. The...

PENTAX FIT Sigma OS APO DG HSM 50 - 500 mm F/4.5-6.3 Lens + HOOD + BAG + BOX
Reserve prices and starting prices don't really have much bearing on what the final price will be (unless they're too high in which case nobody is interested). Reserve prices especially do control the price paid especially when at least two buyers start coming back and forth piggybacking each other ...

PENTAX FIT Sigma OS APO DG HSM 50 - 500 mm F/4.5-6.3 Lens + HOOD + BAG + BOX
With reserve prices I just get myself to think it's another bidder. I simply pop my reasonable price bids in and if I've met the reserve then great. If not, then I just move on. I still limit my latest bid to just above the reserve price, then come back nearer to the ending time if someone else has ...

looking for a Vivitar 28mm f2.0 close focus
hi, I'm looking to buy a vivitar 28mm f.20 close focus mt new default lens. I currently have the olympus OM zuiko 28mm f3.5 and love it's colours (colours are like the most important thing to me in lenses, more than sharpness). But paired with the xe-1, one i step into indoors, f3.5 just doesn't wo...

looking for a Vivitar 28mm f2.0 close focus
You are more likely to find Vivitar 28mm f2.8 close focus version, as the F2.0 version is still a sought after lens and when they do appear for sale, command a high price, especially the PKA version. A possible alternative might be the Cosini/Petri 28mm f2.0 lens. Admittedly not quite as close fo...

looking for a Vivitar 28mm f2.0 close focus
Both Komine and Kiron versions of the 28/2 are good lenses and worth looking for. Make sure you check for sticky aperture blades, apparently a common problem. I'm not selling either of mine though 8)

Luminar 3 for free
Won't download for me. Skylum say av filter on my BT email is the problem, but doesn't work with Google mail either, so just going back to them to see what other reasons they have.

Pentax - A ❇️ Star PK mount 85mm f1.4
I won't be helping when I say it's one of the sharpest lenses I've ever handled, even wide open. They put something funny in these A* lenses for sure. The FA* 85 doesn't come close in terms of sharpness. Can't agree with that - there is very little between them in terms of sharpness, the main di...

Used equipment web site
Welcome to PU. It looks to me as though you have the main Pentax retailers. Is it possible to search by a specific retailer? As someone said at Talk, it might be quicker than using the retailers own site! Thanks, I've given this some thought. My first response is - I feel a very small minority ...

7 Day Shop - 35mm & 120 film
7dayshop used to sell film but I think they stopped for a few years. They seem VERY expensive now - £9.99 for a single roll of Kodak Gold 200, 24 exposures!! Are they pulling our legs?? I checked back in my e-mail to see the last purchase I made from them: five rolls of original Acros in 135 fo...

7 Day Shop - 35mm & 120 film
Yup - couldn't afford to go back to shooting on film nowadays because those prices won't include processing/printing (never was very good at either with B&W, and never tried colour). As for vinyl, 10 years ago I bought a nice new Project t/t with a decent Ortofon cartridge - I think it's probably...

Samsung 10-17mm D-Xenegon F3.5-4.5 K Mount
It's the result of the partnership between Samsung and Pentax a good few years ago - Samsung branded a few Pentax lenses under their own name as part of them allowing Pentax to use their Digital Sensors (18-55, 50-200, 100 Macro and 10-17). 8) Thank you Lenny. I remember well the collaboration betwe...

NP and well done its back up now at 399 It is shown as £399, but the offer is still current, you have to tick the £99.74 voucher to get that off making it more or less £299. Cheers for the heads up.

Sigma 70-200 mm f2.8
That's still a good price even though it's the oldest of the Sigma 70-200/2.8s. I have the same one in worse condition and paid more than that for it. If my copy's anything to go by, here are the downsides of this version: 1. Focus wide open is a little hit-and-miss on my K-3. By that I mea...
