Samyang/Falcon/Rokinon/Vivitar/Bower 85mm f1.4
Just bought the last stock of this lens for Pentax mount on SRS Microsystems' eBay page a few days ago. Received it this morning and I'm glad I made the purchase. First off, the delivery was FAST. Kudos to the SRS team and ParcelForce for a painless service. Secondly, much to my surprise, the len...

I'm glad you like it. it is a teriffic lens but why on earth do you feel the need to put a UV filter on this lens?

Samyang/Falcon/Rokinon/Vivitar/Bower 85mm f1.4
I'm glad you like it. it is a teriffic lens but why on earth do you feel the need to put a UV filter on this lens? I was thinking of removing the glass from the UV filter and attaching the rubber hood on the metal mount of the UV filter. Just to be *safe* !

Ah! Creative thinking. I agree the bayonet hood mounting arrangement is pretty iffy but I think the filter thread is ok. Most Pentax lenses, these days, have plastic filter threads.

A really good MACRO lens
To reverse a lens you need a reversing adapter. It's a male K-mount with a male filter thread on the front. Screw the adapter to the front of your lens, then fit it to the camera using the adapter's K-mount. EG: If you have a SMCP-M or A 50mm 1:1.7 lens, you'll need a 49mm reversing adapter. To p...

A really good MACRO lens
You can buy an adapter cheaply that enables a lens to be fitted back-to-front. It screws into the filter thread and has K mount on the other side. The lens will focus very closely like that. You'll need a lens with an aperture ring to properly use anything other than the smallest aperture. Use th...

DA 50-200 WR
Did Pentax make a mark II version of the DA 50-200 to better match the cameras with larger pixel counts, as they did with the 18-55, If so was that carried forward into the WR version? There was never a mark II version of the 50-200, and the WR version allegedly has the same optics as the non WR, de...

DA 50-200 WR
There was never a mark II version of the 50-200, and the WR version allegedly has the same optics as the non WR, despite a 49mm filter size instead of 52mm. I've seen this claim made numerous times, but there's never been any thorough analysis to confirm it. (Normally) You can't just shrink the size...

Pentax-M 28mm f3.5 - worth owning?
The 28mm lens is more complicated than I thought. The M42 Super-Takumar came in no less than 3 f/3.5 versions (58mm filter and minimum f/22, 58mm and f/16 and 49mm and f/16) and then an S-M-C version which is probably the coated version of the last Super. There are then three K series versions (f/2...

Return to Pentax
Pro-master & Pentax master have all recommended Pentax DA 12-24mm F4 ED AL (IF) Zoom. A quick look on the internet can get this around mid £500s additionally filter size is 77mm that matches most of my canon lenses / cokin filters. Thanks for the information. )

24mm k lens wanted
That lens was always one of my favourites for use with the MX, loaded with Kodak Tri-X black and white film. With an orange or red filter.

Good prime
I have both the DA 40 and the FA 50 and think both are great! the FA 50 I use a lot indoors in places like the British Museum here in London where (especially at this time of year) it is incredibly dark inside. The 1.4 aperture means a shallow DOF but enables a quicker shutter whilst not having to g...

A shorter zoom to replace my 18-250mm
Well, after six months of using my Pentax 18-250mm, I again find myself in another quandary regarding it's potential replacement. "Why?", i hear you ask!!. Because: 1 - maybe I just feel like I need to play with another lens (I'm that kinda guy!) 2 - having looked at the EXIF for all my imag...

A shorter zoom to replace my 18-250mm
How about a trade .. your 18-250mm for my Sigma EX 24-60mm f2.8. Just as sharp as the 24-70mm but only a 77mm filter size. :wink:

I also own the 18-250 in the Tamron guise, as well as the Sigma 10-20. Recently added was the Sigma 18-50 f2.8 (72mm filter). Very pleased with it, and both of the Sigmas make a lovely pair :). Regards Adrian

A shorter zoom to replace my 18-250mm
Well gents, it's a helluva quandary. I have no doubt, and completely agree, that any other zoom lens starting at 18mm will be perfectly suitable paired with my 10-20mm. What attracted me to the 24-70 was the useful focal lengths for a walkabout, and the image quality throughout the zoom range (ac...

Raynox DCR-150
It works best with lenses with smaller filter threads - so the kit lens is okay, but the 50-200 is better because of the magnification possibilities. Would probably work well with a nifty fifty. Have been pretty pleased with the results of mine - it offers good bang for the buck. Though I may sel...
