Pentax version of the Tokina 11-16 ...WHEN IS IT HAPPENING?
I disagree that it is pointless lens. It's already selling well in Nikon and Canon mounts and both companies have their own lenses in tht range. By keeping the zoom range short the optical quality can be kept high, it is already regarded as being much better than the Tokina 12-24 f4 ( sound famil...

Pentax-A SMC 50mm 1:1.4 - a yellow bulge?
I bought (on eBay) the Pentax-A 50mm 1:1.4 - it's absolutely fantastic (I can even take a flashless photo in a not so bright room!). When fully opened the DOF is so shallow :) Anyway, I just wonder - there is a yellow bulge / dot between aperture and focus rings (top-right). What's that? Any idea...

Why so long??
where did you find the info that the HSM 70-200 'does not work' with the sigma TCs please ? presumably the HSM lens + TC would still work with screw-drive ? thanks I think it was Tooks on this site that bought the Sigma MK2 HSM version which came with the 2x teleconverter and had to return it ...

Why so long??
I know you can get the Sigma 2x currently for £99, but I'm struggling to work out what you'd use it with in Pentax fit? I got one from SRS for my older 70-200mm f2.8 and it works well but its also very good with my Pentax F* 300mm f4.5 in reasonable light .. although manual focus only. albei...

Aye, it was me! Quick recap; Sigma 70-200 HSM & Sigma 2x TC = No AF, and generally sends the camera mad with flashing from the screen and top LCD, the shutter won't fire, and so manual focus is impossible too... Sigma 70-200 HSM & Sigma 1.4x TC = As above... Sigma 70-200 HSM & Kenko 1.5x...

Why so long??
I've been doing a bit of digging about the Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG MACRO HSM II lens, it's seems to get mentioned quite a lot that there is a front and back focussing issue with this new lens and it is softer than the older version, can anyone confirm this?

"Holiday" lens
Although the Pentax 18-250 does not call itself 'macro' it is the same as the Tamron and so the close focus is the same - which is to say pretty good - fills the frame with something 7cm long which is about 1:3 - and equivalent to 1:2 in 35mm terms. And the 18-250 is generally reckoned to be noticab...

"Holiday" lens
The main reason I am tempted by the 18-250 is that last year on holiday I always had the wrong lens on the camera - so when we saw some eagles, I had the kit lens on, and by the time I'd changed lenses they were gone. S I hoped I might overcome this by using the Ds as a second body now I have the K2...

Yes, ditto to the above re SRS. Ordered my 55-300 over the phone yesterday. Pleasant and efficient chap took my details (including Pentax Forum username for free postage). Lens arrived 09.30 this morning. I`ve printed off the cashback form, so even if it does take 4 weeks, I regard this simply as a ...

Is this lens ok?
I am watching a 50mm 1.7 A on Ebay. I have asked regarding its condition- the seller says it has no scratches mould etc but that it contains what appears to be a small eyelash and that this has no effect on picture quality. What do think - worth a punt? If it turns out to be no good I s'pose I can ...

K20D and manual lens - setting shutter speed?
I'm trying using the A 50mm lens on macro tubes, however I'm not sure if I do that correctly. The tubes they are K-mount, but don't have el. contacts so focus and aperture have to be set manually. That's fine, the lens has an aperture ring and I allowed aperture ring use in the camera setup. But ...

K20D and manual lens - setting shutter speed?
Very true. Sometimes quick searches turn up trumps on the net, sometimes it can take a bit of digging. I wonder if there is some way of setting up a FAQ type thing for the site? There are various recurrent questions. for example: manual lenses, back/front focusing, best AA rechargeable batteries ...
