Pentax M K-Fit 50mm F1.7 Standard Lens
Many thanks Mongoose and Dexter. As a bit of a novice on this stuff could I ask please as to what would be the most compatible standard lens. I would be entirely happy with manual focus. I would like to have a fast standard lens; there seems to be a good few on Ebay but not too sure which would be ...

Pentax M K-Fit 50mm F1.7 Standard Lens
look out for a Pentax-F 50mm 1.7, works perfectly and auto focus too. This is a cracking 'portrait' lens on a dslr and has beautiful bokeh too

Pentax M K-Fit 50mm F1.7 Standard Lens
or, if you're feeling poor and don't mind manual focus, the SMC-A 1.7 can be picked up for ~£30 on ebay. I have one and it works beautifully with my *istDL2 and K10D, all functions available except autofocus. I believe Chris at SRS microsystems has SMC FA 50mm 1.4's for £160 brand new. IMHO the p...

Pentax M K-Fit 50mm F1.7 Standard Lens
or, if you're feeling poor and don't mind manual focus, the SMC-A 1.7 can be picked up for ~£30 on ebay. You have old information. I just come back for that bay and its cost ~50. And you have to double it if you want f1.4 (not FA). It's crazy! :(

Pentax 18/55mm v 16/45!
It may be a silly question but is there a great deal of difference in the quality of the shots,I've gone back to the kit lens as I cant afford a short lens at the moment and I was suprised at the outcome!,,,I am not very far up the learning curve but I achieved some excellent results. One shot in ...

50mm 1:1.4 AF
As far as I know, all the 50mm f/1.4 lenses are the same optical design. The difference is in the controls and electronics, but they are all considered one of the finest lenses ever made! they changed M series to A series, the A series and later ones are better than the M series (or so I have read)...

DA* Lens information for the first two but not the 60-250mm
Cameraworld at Focus were telling me that it would be 350-400 pounds, apparently availability of the 16-45 for them was a problem.....

DA* Lens information for the first two but not the 60-250mm
I have many Pentax prime lenses dating back to the 1980's but I am now keen to acquire my first high quality digital zoom lens. I thought that the debate about prime v. zoom lenses had largely died a death some years ago.

DA* Lens information for the first two but not the 60-250mm
Hi all, Had the meeting as scheduled - I tried to post on Saturday but this site was down? The lenses look great - extremely quick and quiet on a K10D, and also reasonably so on the K100D.... The latest I have on a delivery time is that they are due to hit Europe late May (probably the las...

DA* Lens information for the first two but not the 60-250mm
Saw this and got excited, but when I called them, they told me they're accepting pre-orders, but don't expect to see actual product until September... The salesman told me (and I quote) "...the K10D body is taking off so successfully, it's getting hard, almost impossible, to find new fast gl...

DA* Lens information for the first two but not the 60-250mm
Well that is one good vote, and I was glad to see the SMC-FA Limited lenses available in back as I'd prefer them to blend with the body rather than shout out loudly, "LOOK! SILVERY!!!". I assume prices are the same if I go into the shop to have a look/buy there...

Lens Schematic Needed - FA24-90
have always been obliging to me. I needed a mechanical diagram for a 16-45mm DA lens a while back. They sent me a .PDF within a few minutes.

Poll: Who's replacing their 16-45mm with a DA* 16-50mm?
Finally sussed out what it is about the 16-45 that I like so much ;) The barrel extends towards 16mm (the "wrong" way around), and the close focus point is 28cm. Because the focal distance is measured from the nodal point, it means you can get the subject within a couple of inches of th...

K10D and Tamron Adaptall 2 mount don't play nice
Adrian, Sorry if I'm just stating the obvious here (which I'm sure I am as you say you're getting correct exposures when adjusting the aperture with the thumbwheel), but the aperture ring needs to be closed down to the smallest aperture, then the button on the left of the lens (as you hold the ca...

K10D and Tamron Adaptall 2 mount don't play nice
Dear all Many thanks for all your replies but I think I've just about sorted it. Let me rephrase that; Dan has just about sorted it! Dan kindly met me at the Essex Wildlife Trust visitor centre at Bedfords Park this afternoon and we tried just about every permutation possible of the two lenses, t...
