PENTAX D FA 100mm - £284.89 @ Currys
Quote from Setfan on page 1 Overall good, it's light and handles very good but buildquality is a bit less. The image quality is also very good, very sharp, good colours and contrast without much defects like chromatic aberrations distortions. Also this lens has quick-shift so if the AF doesn't ...

wheres the switch? There is`nt one, it`s just like any other quick shift lens. Turn the focus ring, it focuses manually. Davex.

You focus using AF, hold the setting using a half press on the shutter release and then tweak manually. If you release the half press the lens will of course refocus itself.

So what happens when you press the shutter release and the cameras AF thinks it needs focusing? wont that just bugger up your minor adjustments? Yes if you've it on AF.C but on AF.S when it has a lock it will not refocus till you release and press the shutter button again. I've set the AF to work...

Stefan - thats good info, but overall / value for money / Qs etc, how would you rate the three 100mms'. :? I've only used the DFA so can't really commend on the others. the WR version is optical the same as the normal one. The WR has rounded aperture blades but it does so good as nothing for the...

Laddette then::lol: I have been out this pm, but DHL round here usually comes between 10 & 2. They need to leave the area before it's dark - Gobblins abound :twisted: Actually Currys said they would phone me back to confirm the Friday swap. Heard nothing - getting close to cancelling the order:(

Been playing and got this chap. Caught his web with the lens hood and destroyed it. Bad luck. That must have been some web to destroy a lens hood:shock:. The lens hood is precisely the minimum focus distance so it's possible :) About spiders, webs and drugs (warning strong language) :lol:

Little bit of shake there I would say. You can push the ISO a lot further on the K-x to get a faster shutter speed .. or use flash. Try this one - bit sharper but DOF too shallow so most of him is not in focus.

whilst I am happy with the lens, the build quality leaves a little to be desired. I must admit I was suprised by the build quality, especially considering the price and the fact it is a macro lens. IQ is superb though. Thanks Mike - It's that there is a new one on offer for £160, so it mig...

The macro lens delivered last week has unfortunately developed a strange problem. Taking pictures at a local football match yesterday, my K10 effectively 'siezed up' whilst lightly depressing the shutter to maintain focus while following the action. All the lights were on but it could not be adjust...

There is also a small amount of play in the focus ring. For what's worth I also have that with mine so I think that's normal, at least mine still work after two years. For the problem... it could maybe be a problem with the communication with the lens and the camera, I don't know of anything mech...

such a large stock one wonders if Pentax did an off load of duff copies??? Well, maybe that is a possibility ISO, but Currys were quite happy to refund my money, so I am reasonably confident that if the replacement does not work out then I will get my money back, and, after all, there have not been...

Got it:D In the end after more calls to DHL/Currys/Dr.Who et al, I was ‘allowed’ to solve the problem myself. Yes Sir, you can take it into a shop to return to us. No Sir it’s not a shop stock item, once we get it back at the Warehouse we will DHL another to you.:evil: Go to shop. Yes sir w...

I raised a question on a similar line a while back, There's some links in the thread regarding conversions as far as I recall.

ebay seller..... not a clue what he's selling ;-)
admits he hasn't a clue about what he's selling :shock: Looks like someone's screwed a Novoflex follow focus pistol grip to the tripod bush on a bellows and added what is probably a Leica thread British made National Trinol 105mm f/3.5 lens to it. (Probably TTH lens elements) The lens could be...

A thought I had recently and felt might provoke an interesting thread: You bang your head and invent the flux capacitor. After building a time machine you realise that you'll need photos to prove it worked, so grabbing your camera you climb aboard and push the button... When do you go and what...
