Using the 10-17mm Fisheye
...Glen Etive (one of my favourite places in Scotland)... Think I'd have to agree with you there, although Glen Affric was also beautiful when we went there out of season, didn't see anyone else for 4 hours (and no midges). :D By the way, that shot of Fort William and Ben Nevis is great, we went...

Using the 10-17mm Fisheye
As we're talking of places to go in Scotland, and as your in Edinburgh, where can I go that's not too far from edinburgh when I come up there in October? Did like Falls of Clyde last year so may well go back there with the wife, but wondering about other scenic places nearby. Can think of plenty m...

Using the 10-17mm Fisheye
You're making me SO jealous! :evil: Is that Suilven? Just checked my slides from when we were up that way a few years back, although I've only got distant views with "Suilven and Cul Mor" on the mount, but can't remember which is which. :? Thanks for the info about places to visi...

Using the 10-17mm Fisheye
Ah, right, thanks for that. We were on that road, but by the time we were that close to them the heavens had opened. Stopped off in Ullapool and got some nice harbour shots, and a one of my favourite shots near Loch Broom on the way back towards Inverness. Dan

Pentax 35mm f2.0 SMC P-FA AL with the K10D ?
Is Pentax going to fix this metering problem on the K10D? The metering "problem" only affects "K" and M series lenses. It can be fixed by fitting a focus screen from a DS. The focus screen swap does not affect exposure with more modern lenses.

Pentax 35mm f2.0 SMC P-FA AL with the K10D ?
Dave, I just want to confirm your analysis of the situation. :-) The P stands for Pentax, and is also sometimes written SMCP. Incidentally, ALL Pentax K-bayonet lenses will work on your K10D. However, the early ones without a suffix (known unofficially as K lenses), and the Pentax-M lenses, ...

If you had a choice out of these 2 lenses which would you choose and why. I know most here would say the Pentax but which would take the better quality pics through it entire range :?: The reason i ask is i have the Tamron and too be honest i think its very poor over 200mm. I have a chance to pi...

Advice on pricing please?
Is this Vivitar a consant F2.8 or F2.8-F4? There don't appear to be any Pentax fit versions on Ebay at the moment however there is a Canon FD fit F2.8-4 version at a buy-it-now of £45. A Pentax version, with it's DSLR useability, might make more however I reckon it'd take a really good listing fo...

Macro Lenses - Advice required.
or if you don't mind manual focus and want something that turns up on Ebay more often, the Tamron 90mm adaptall lenses are very nice indeed. I have the early 90mm F2.5 version with a matched flat field converter. Set me back the princely sum of £50, and even though prices have since gone a bit mad y...

Pentax F smc 80-200mm 4,7-5,6 (Is this a good choice ?)

Carl Zeiss Lenses about to be released in K mount
Hi, The Contax Zeiss 28mm f2 was part of the initial RTS range of lenses, so was introduced about 1975 with the first lenses. It was VERY expensive and only sold in relatively small numbers and is very highly regarded amongst Contax enthusiasts (like me). It has floating elements to aid close...

As Steve says this was almost identical the the Zeiss lens for the Contax. I have uploaded the files to my website and you can access t...
