Replacement Kit Lens?
Hi, I've had my K10D for about 7 months now and have started to get results I am very happy with. A couple of months back I bought a Sigma 10-20mm which I Love (my main interests are architectural and landscape shots) and it has not been off my camera since. I intend to buy the new Pentax 55-30...

Pentax-K 300mm with Tamron 1.4X teleconverter test shot
Quite impressed actually, this was at full focus and hand held Much better than my 80-320mm or Tamron 28-300mm. Would be interested to see how the new 55-300 compares. All that was done was auto adjustment in Lightroom. Heavy ****** though.

Pentax-K 300mm with Tamron 1.4X teleconverter test shot
It wasnt actually a comparison but anyway. Same shot (more or less) without TC and cropped. Without a tripod on either shot though the focus could be slightly out on either. And without cropping.

Sigma 150mm DG Macro F2.8 EX HSM
Warehouse Express have it , but on back order, so it certainly seems as though it's expected at some point. :? Might be worth dropping Chris at SRS a line and seeing if he's heard anything. Dan

a) Suitable for an istDL ? b) worth getting regardless of the lack of auto focus? c) a useful lens, ( I only have the kit lens and an old manual everything 70 -162mm lens ) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sigma-UC-28-70mm-f3-5-zoom-Pentax-PKA-fit-UV-caps_W0QQitemZ260254454811QQihZ016QQcategoryZ30070QQssP...

The difference between the long end of the kit lens (55mm) and the long end of this (70mm) is fairly insignificant - your kit will give a similar field of view by walking two steps forward. At the same time this doesn't go as wide as your kit (the difference between 18mm and 28mm *is* significant) ...

The 1.7 was often sold as a kit lens back in the film days and isn't as glamourous (or fast) as its 1.4 sibling, however, 1.7 is still very quick compared to your current lenses and the optical (and build) qualities are exceptional - a real step up from what you've used thus far. The focal length m...

shooting indoors
If you're not sure what exposure mode to use indoors... then switch to "P" and choose auto ISO 100-1600. The camera will choose what it thinks is the best arrangement. You can always override its choice by using the front wheel (for shutter speed), or rear wheel (for aperture). Press th...

Well Sandie I hope you are still there and reading the helpful comments posted on this thread. You sound like you are trying to achieve the same as me, something not easy to do perfect, and that is indoor low light pictures of children that don't keep still unless you bribe them with sweets!

actually George it's alot of effort. I practice everyday, I work from home, on my own schedual. this forum, is where I can pop in, type a sentacne or three, between photo/video shoots/editing, and meeting family demands. If I had a regular job, my skills would deteriorate quite quickly, and I'd b...

The moral maze...
Nothing on TV worth watching these days anyway :lol: For UK telly programmes I rely solely on what's available from BBC/iPlayer, 4 On Demand, and ITV's catchup service for my TV. I'm hoping the latter will have a download service available soon. I do also have spanish digital free-to-view TV too...

Prinz 135mm F/2.8 [Any good?]
I have this lens, for the price I think it is great, I shot my nieces birthday with it, kept a distance so I could get lots of candids. Have used it for gig photgraphy but did get some purple fringing, this could be down to the low light though, this was shot at ISO3200 on my pentax K100d, a...

K20 d 50-200 lens cheap
I tried to buy this from them a while back. They didn't have stock and strung me along for about 8 weeks. They can't buy it in at that price as far as I can work it out. Staff were helpful but it became clear they would never get any more stock. Mike

Sigma 135-400mm F4.5/5.6 APO DG
You should have said earlier that you were after one. I was in Alicante last week, I'd have bought mine over for you to try. To be honest I didn't know I was after one, I decided this morning that I have had my fun buying loads of lenses from Ebay to play with and now its time to probably try and g...
