Hi Guys, I've rescued my old Tamron 500mm mirror lens (manual focus-fixed aperture)with an adapter of ebay. I'm not sure it focuses fully at infinity but it works locally. This is my first attempt which has been cropped (bird was some 15m away) Now the crunch -I've uploaded the image to t...

It is an excellent lens Bernard. And you have chosen a perfect situation for it. One of the negatives of the lens is a messy bokeh unless you have good seperation between the in focus and the out of focus elements of the image. Your background is the sky so no problem there. I have a couple of image...

If you have bought a Tamron Adaptall mount then there is no reason why it shouldn't focus to infinity. If I recall, the lens actually focuses beyond infinity

Trying out an old lens
I like the composition but, IMHO, the image would be improved by a little 'tweaking' (increased contrast, noise reduction and sharpening). And adjust the colour balance a little to brighten the background sky to help it stand out. As Jon said you have one of the better 2 or 3 mirrors out there, a...

If you have bought a Tamron Adaptall mount then there is no reason why it shouldn't focus to infinity. If I recall, the lens actually focuses beyond infinity How does that work, then? What is beyond infinity? I think if this lens does that it may have upset the present laws of physics. If you can wo...

Exif/Properties
In a recent post (Trying out an old lens) I posted a picture which Layingback noticed the Exif details quoted "Shutter Priority" . Checking the original file on my PC the Properties listed "Aperture Priority" I'm confused as to why there should be this discrepancy The photograph was taken wit...

Wow? No
Just got my KR to replace my KX. Fantastic upgrade.(see my fun pic of my sons dog just posted on gallery) I particularly like the fact that by ordering it in black from SRS I got a II series standard lens with quick focus and metal bayonet while the white and red models came with the plastic DAL ...

I'll try it and report back if I find a solution, otherwise it's a report to IT.

The process completed and after logging out and then logging back in the magazine article is now revealed. Not to me. Can you explain how I can read your article on the MZ series from the Winter 2010 Issue 4 (current) magazine, for example.

I think this should be clarified a bit, I also thought it would mean back issue PDF downloads (being as the last I heard the magazine was no longer being produced).

... But I still don't know what shows that I am a PU Plus member ... Apologies about the quality. A quick take off my pc screen. If you point at the PU icon you get this: I think this icon does the same thing in your profile. It does on mine. Glyn Edit to improve the image using ...

Hi, I joined Pentax User for the Magazine and then it sadly closed just as i was getting interested. I participate now for this interesting forum and the gallery which is now restricted unless you pay! I think it's a shame that the web site is so slow to keep up. We had the Mag listed as cu...

My original Pentax User membership ran until the end of December 2011 and I have not claimed any refund, so to be asked to pay more money in order to get back some of the benefits that I have already paid for is a bit rich :shock:
