I have been waiting for weeks for someone here to put me out of my misery but today I finally succumbed. Numerous times I have hovered over the buy button, only for my sensible head to tell me I don't need it, it will likely only get used a few times before staying in the cupboard, and all the times...

Well what a disappointment, after receiving an email confirmation from Ffordes for my Pentax 85mm F2.8 SMC FA Soft Focus lens order they have just informed me that they haven't actually had it in stock since last year despite it still being on their website.

An Industar 50-2 for £12. It needs a very light re-greasing but otherwise it's great. Optics are good and the requirement for grease is only obvious when turning the focus ring quickly. Otherwise it's stellar. Sharp wide-open, with some noticeable vignetting, but sharper stopped down slightly. Have ...

67mm Marumi DHG Achromat Macro 330 (+3) - to improve the close-focus capability of the Pentax DA* 50-135. The Raynox DCR Macro Adapters, whilst of excellent quality, are too small to be of practical use with the 50-135 (requires a 43 - 67mm stepping ring). A quick search turned-up some promi...

My first Auto-Takumar, an M42 mount 85mm f1.8 and it has me confused. It has a spring back switch which I'd assumed you pushed to obtain open iris focusing then release for the set aperture. But the lens seems to operate with an open iris, switch pushed or not, and still the image comes out reasonab...

What's your latest acquisition?
I have finally scratched a long-suffering itch and ordered a 77mm Limited. I was hanging on for the new 85mm but have decided I cannot justify the expense, also it looks pretty hefty and I am getting some primes as lightweight alternatives to the F2.8 zooms. At present I have the recent 35mm f1....

I'm waiting for John to give us a cheeky flash. Seriously! On the acquisition front, I've seen another A*135/1.8 for sale with what looks to be a bad case of separation in the elements. I'm taking a bit of a gamble on it and getting it sent over to Brian Gohacki (DCShooter of Pentax Forums fame) ...

Sort of Pentax related, a new flat roof, new platering to ceiling, new paint and a new computer desk on the way. Pentax related in that my computer room can get back to normal after a leaking roof just narrowly missed making a drama into a mega-crisis. At the moment the dining room table is host...

All I need now is the lens to go with the filters... par , on ipernity par , on ipernity Very nice set of 43mm Pentax filters in a wallet. They are for the drop-in filter holder on lenses like the F* 250-600mm lens. One of these... (as seen at Focus on Imaging, March 2011). ...

Not Pentax but the photos were taken using a K-3 with a K50/4 macro and using a Pentax Focus Rail III so I think it counts (and it is a fun story anyway!). I have a soft spot for folding cameras. I have an Agfa Isolette II and a Zeiss Ikon Nettar 518/16 that I used regularly (both bought in char...

An HD 1.4 WD converter is on its way from a UK ebay seller for £240 - was an "experimental" offer that I didn't expect to be accepted, but it was! :roll: Hopefully it'll a "good 'un" and I'll try it out with, mainly, the 55-300 PLM to see if it will actually be "useful" with that lens - reports o...

Taken a little gamble on another MX. Was described as requiring new light seals and having a slightly dirty focus screen. I did the seals on my current MX so that bit isn’t too much of an issue for me. The good bit is it is described as meter working and shutter speeds change according to dial b...

I bought a cheapie Nikon AF 50mm f/1.8 to go on the F801S I bought a few months back which has been sitting unused as I had no lens for it. The Nikon is a little disappointing in build quality but even more so in that there are no half stops when using it in aperture priority mode. It's an unexpec...
