As soon as i get it i will give ...

which one to choose DA* 55 or FA 43 limited
OK, even if OP is off elsewhere I'll share my opinion. I have had FA43 since January. Marvelous lens IMO. I got DA*55 to replace my K50/1.2 and K55/1.8. After a week's trial I returned it back to the shop. It's a great lens, but I don't think optically it's better than 50/1.2 and it's OOF renderin...

Here is the full thread. http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-slr-lens-discussion/51392-da*55mm-vs-fa43mm.html That's hilarious! You quote a thread which I was active in. Should I repeat all my observations here? Or simply say that I trust the extensive work of photozone with many cameras and ...

oh yeah you where active in that one, didn't notice that :D Photozone is not holy in my book and when you compare 3 reviews about the lens and see 3 different MTF charts it's hard to tell who is right. :? http://www.photozone.de/pentax/471-pentax_55_14 http://www.lenstip.com/163.1-Lens_revi...

Photozone is not holy in my book and when you compare 3 reviews about the lens and see 3 different MTF charts it's hard to tell who is right. :? They are not holy to me but I would favour them over someone who posts a single lens comparison. Photozone have done a lot of work to establish a consisten...

But, of course, 40/43mm is a terrible focal length on digital. :lol: I agree it's not ideal, but actually it's the limitations of the close focus that bug me most about the FA43. I prefer 28mm or 77mm and luckily have a great lens that just happens to be the second focal length. :D

how easy is it to change a kaf mount
hi guys just wondered if any one had changed the kaf mount as my sigma seems sloppy when mounted it has play and when the ap flickes with -- and it flickers manual focus, it has not caused me no real problems just the fact i know it does it, so any ideas and thoughts most greatfully recieved,

how easy is it to change a kaf mount
Sounds like the lip on the mount has been bent slightly out of shape - it happens on some of the cheap M42-K adapters too. Bending it back and getting it right is nigh-on impossible unfortunately. You could try a call to Sigma - they must have access to spare parts and they might sell you a mount...

Lens Related
Kris, what to think of the PENTAX K 8.4mm f/2.8 Fish-Eye. You can't even find a photo from that lens on the net. :( I've looked around for some info on the lens but it's so strange, it seems that it hasn't a focus ring. These are also the only sites with some information

Found a new Lens Road map
The mythical 60-250 is still a future lens I see.:roll: But two DA645's added :shock:. Shame they dropped the 1.4 converter though, they did that a while back.

front and rear lens bubble
I once bought a Sigma 24-70 lens from Jessops which had a bubble. I took it back and they replaced it with no quibble. I would suggest that you should return your lens for replacement. I am sure there is no small print that allows for occasional bubbles in the lens specification. Especially a high...

front and rear lens bubble
womble Funny thing about glass is that it will still flow with time. Very old church glass is thicker at the bottom of the window than the top! Are you sure about that.I thought it was a myth. Regards mm I would have thought that they would have put it in that way? If your trying to stan...

Keep making mistakes lately
I have never really looked in a super critical way (I am not one of the pixel peeping hand wringing endlessly worrying about sharpness brigade) but have had no complaints about mine. Have you tried a focus test? Matt said he had managed to adjust his. Cheers, Kris.

Using a focus test chart on the 12-24 is a real pain :roll: You really need a HUGE focus test chart (and I don't have an A3 or A2 printer) As Tel pointed out I ended up using some Lego for the 12-24 :lol: It was a touch out on the focus. Easily corrected on the K20D though :D Matt

a setting on an A50mm f/1.7
Hi, I recently picked up an ME Super, partially because I wanted to play with film and partially because it came with an A-50mm lens and I was planning to swap it for the M-50mm I currently use with my K20D. It turns out that while the aperture ring will turn to the A setting (on both cameras) i...
