Samsung 16-45 on eBay
Mike-P The same comments are on the original auction too and I doubt that it would have been dealt with in 10 minutes. Also, if that was a problem then it would be a relisting - due to non-payment and thus saving fees. The seller has just copied the first auction text for the second. Wel...

Samsung 16-45 on eBay
It looks like mine was reasonable too, not bought on fleabay, but from the Cameraworld stand at Focus yesterday. Price? a mere £180 for a brand new model. So if you want one get over to Focus tomorrow or Weds and get one. (normal cameraworld price is £195)

Wow you guys are sure getting the pointy end of the stick with those sort of price increases :shock: It will be interesting to see if prices fall if the exchange rate comes back to near what it was Actually it cant be good news for retailers either, I suppose there will be a rush to get in before...

sigma 100-300 price rise
What is especially attractive about the 60-250, is it's small size (smaller than the DA*300) when not fully extended. If it performs as expected, it will be a cracker! :D :D Is the 60-250mm not an internal focus lens so it won't extend.

[quote:3496ace15f="bladerunneruk"][quote:3496ace15f="RichardDay"] Just waiting for the DA*60-250 to arrive! :D To my mind this is a much more attractive lens than either the 100-300 EX (had one of those - yuk) or the 70-200. What is especially attractive about the 60-250, is it's small size...

The Datasheet for the DA*60-250 specifically says that the lens is also compatible for cameras without SDM technology, then states in the spec that the mount is KAF3! :? Now this could mean it can be used on non SDM bodies in manual focus! :wink: I'm sure we will know soon enough when some of...

m42 adaptor and k20d
Hi Susan, It's very easy: 1# Put the adapter on by aligning the red dots and turn clockwise until it clicks. 2# Set: "Permit use aperture ring" to On in menu. 3# Now the fun part. You have two options for metering. Set camera to manual metering (M), turn aperture ring to desired value and use g...

m42 adaptor and k20d
It has, (as I understand)with the non linear focus screen Pentax started to use for the k10D and other kxxxxD's afterwards. And it has nothing to do with AV mode. In manual using the green button, the same happens. There is a lot written and discussed about it. Typical is the fact that the best ...

m42 adaptor and k20d
Thank you all, I am trying to get my head around all these remarks you have made. At the moment I struggling with the input focal length, I get No's from 8 to 800. Also I press the green button and it makes a noise,but can't see what it actually does except the shutterspeed seem to move back. for in...

m42 adaptor and k20d
Sorry Susan, but you are mixing up two complete different things here. You say: At the moment I struggling with the input focal length, I get No's from 8 to 800. This has to do with the camera's Shake Reduction system who is asking you to manually dial in the used focal length. So the SR can adjus...

ebay:New DA 300mm f/4 £659.99!!!
Slightly off topic, Amin you may find a 300mm prime more of a hindrance than a help in Africa. Depending on where you are going you can get surprisingly close to the animals or are so far away that 30mm is not enough. You will not have time, nor is it desirable given the dust, to change lenses if s...

ebay:New DA 300mm f/4 £659.99!!!
What you have to realise is that the animals are very often right next to your vehicle, and in that case a 300 would be fine for a close up of a cheetah's eye but not so great for the whole animal. I looked back through my photos and trust me, very few needed 300mm, and as I said if they did they ac...

Amin, Gambia, Senegal, Kenya, Nigeria! (briefly), Ghana, and many trips to S Africa - predominantly the Cape through the Karoo towards PE and beyond. There is more I want to see - but time & money make it hard! I guess Africa can be addictive :). I have left the country now over 30 years but eve...
