400-600 zoom
I have been tempted to sell my 400-600 at times as it does not get much use, but then something comes along and I use it. I have had mine since 1984 and it too is mint with the rear filter set and case. I have been offered £500 for mine and if had wanted to could have pushed higher. If yo...

Pentax lens Hoods
For the second time I have taken my camera out of the bag to find the lens hood cracked. First it was a DA 16-45mm and now my 60-250mm hood has a bloody great crack in it. If I were carrying these lenses round with me all the time and was a bit heavy handed with the bag I could understand but normal...

Alternative ultrawide?
I own a sigma 10-20/4-5,6. I bought it used (8 months) with marumi polarising filter fitted for 350€. At that price it really was a no brainer. Ofcourse I considered the DA 12-24 but it is a bit off my student budget. Since I have my sigma, I really don't think about replacing it. It is a good lens....

One for the serious collectors? 1:4/17
With a bit more time than I have today, I would be looking into the dates when this lens was offered compared to the Tamron Adaptall-2 offering of f3.5-17mm. It was the rotating filters that caught my eye - something that the Tamron has, and which can easily get accidentally set half way between fi...

filters, to pro or not to pro?
OK on the front of a 16-45mm I'd like a circular polarising filter. ( not prolarising as I wrote first, but it would be interesting). Is a Hoya Pro filter THAT much better than the standard? Where are B&W in comparison? Pro or Standard or in between? And Kood even? I'm thinking on a B&W. ...

A and M.
Many of my posts to this forum, have been in the form of whines, whinges and even rants, about ebay. It has given me plenty of reason, but sometimes, I love it. Now, is one such time. On Thursday evening, I spotted an M series 50mm f1.4, on a 'buy it now'. Sold as spares or repair, for... Well, I'm...

There's one on ebay for a tenner at the moment, may be more than you want to spend though! You can take the dents out of filter rings, there's a guide on the web. Basically you cut a semicircular dent in the edge of a piece of wood that's wide enough to support the lens barrel, then form a simila...

Pentax 40mm f2.8 DA Limited for £249
Walters have always had a very good reputation. I had heard Pentax were reducing prices on some of their lenses so maybe this is new stock starting to filter through. On the other hand I may be totally wrong. :lol:

'Perfect' set of lenses?
I don't think there was ever an official Pentax 135mm f2.8? There was a K series 135mm f2.5 and a Takumar Bayonet one (which doesn't seem particularly well thought of despite the ebay prices). The M 135mm f3.5 is also worth a look as a first prime, it's a lot faster than comparably-priced zooms a...

Macro lens advise
I'd echo Mannestys thoughts. If you're not interested in bugs, then look at the Sigma 50mm f2.8 as an option. They can be had new for £239 or look for a used one that's significantly cheaper. You can of course go an even cheaper route & get some extension tubes and/or a Raynox filter to enable cl...

One very inexpensive solution is to use a close up lens with your 50-200mm lens. This screws into the front of the lens just like a filter and enables you to focus closer. Stopped down to f11 you will get excellent results. Use a tripod to ensure correct focus and no camera shake.

John, Do you have any suggestions re were to get a close up lens and what the expected cost would be. The Raynox devices are exactly that, a close-up lens which clips on to the front of your preferred lens. The DCR150 & DCR250 gives a magnification of 4.8 & 8 dioptre respectively. These are hi...

Depends how cheap you want to go. I use a Marumi close up filter to good effect on a digital compact with 72mm filter (not that compact...). It cost around £20 from Microglobe, and was well worth the money. Cameraworld also sell them and I am sure they would pair well with the kit zooms. You...
