Extension tubes/Teleconverters
I think the way to go is, get yourself a Teleplus APK macro extender and remove the glass, No AF of course, but it will allow you to move it back and forth like a bellows and you get metering from the body. You can pick them up reasonably cheap. I saw one last week go for 30quid. :!:

Tamron 70-200mm f2.8
From what I have read on several forums and user reports, It does a wonderful job. Solid, Very Good IQ, Reasonable priced. The only negative point, that keeps coming back is : Severe hunting in low light situations.(but that is subjective,imo.) Martin.

Tamron 70-200mm f2.8
This lens looks like a good lens for my aviation pics too. Anyone have experience with this lens? I have this lens, I love it, I also tried the Sigma 70-200mm HSM mk11, the Tammy beats the Sigma on image quality every time, the Sigma non hsm older lens was a good one but the newer version IMHO is n...

Lenses for product photography
I like to use a 50mm prime lens as most are reasonably sharp producing good reults. If I need to get closer focus, for fine detail, I then use extension tubes. Its mainly the lighting thats the issue if you want clear images with white backgrounds. The trick lies with not blowing the product out...

testing pentax 100 2.8 smc dfa sharpness
Just that a detailed close up subject with lots of lines, shapes and fine detail would have been better. How about a map or newspaper at different apertures? Don't forget to make sure the camera back is exactly parralel to the subject.

testing pentax 100 2.8 smc dfa sharpness
I don't know why you have the contrast at -1 they all look flat. You would also be better setting the sharpness to 0 for testing. Jpegs get sharpened a bit anyway. The box with a coin in front won't look sharp because you haven't enough DOF at that distance. The coin itself looks OK. The leaves don'...

Lens issue
The Pentax or Tamron 18-250mm provides similar image quality to the combination of Pentax 18-55mm II + Pentax 50-200mm, and saves changing lenses so often. However, the camera will be less comfortable to use with the weight of the 18-250, and there may be times when you will want to take a differ...

DA*300 and Sigma 150-500
Al I can add Amin is think of what you would like to do with the camera-lens you want to use and buy the one that will do it best, when they bring out a "do it all" lens that is perfect we wont be able to buy it, because it will be to expensive.:lol: But with all your money, why dont you buy both? ...

DA*300 and Sigma 150-500
Hi Amin The 55-300mm will give you better results, with the 100mm ok, but you will have less stepping forward and back to frame the shot.:wink:

the new 200mm with af1.7 converter
Stunning shot :), the woodpecker image looks well captured. The flying owl is one that really leaves me absolutely mesmerised :). I keep coming back to it times and times again :). There is something about birds that when the image is captured while in their flight have a stunning effect for me :...

the new 200mm with af1.7 converter
Richard Sorry to hear about your inlaws ill health. Hope she recovers and gets back to her normal routine. I know at her age these things become very delicate, and need proper looking after. About the 150-500 I will go and have a peek at the "snooked" gallery. And I know what you mean about pa...

Did anyone like the 60-250mm???
The DA*60-250 is a very big lens. It is fast at focusing and bright. Unfortunately it has a major design flaw. The tripod mount interfered with the opperation of the zoom ring. I was not the only one to note this and it was generally agreed that it would be removed by anyone thinking of buying it. ...
