New lens or 1.4/1.7 teleconverter?
Oops - lost this thread for a while ! Nice shots DCWeather - I have the same mirror, the Tamron 500 BB. amd7000 - It really is quite a sharp lense and usually shots crop well. If you need length and don't want to spend a lot then it's well worth trying so long as you are aware of the caveats ...

Lens Hood Filter Window
I think you're going to need a new hood, unfortunately. That said, try using the hood with the window pointing down and see if it makes any difference not having the little cover? If it does you could always put a bit of black insulation tape across it.

Lens Hood Filter Window
I too have lost it. I just use the hood as is, no problems at all. Obviously the hole is pointing down. Even when using the camera in portrait mode it doesn't seem to cause a problem.

Lens Hood Filter Window
There are copies of the Pentax kit lens hoods and also the DA 55 - 300 hood available quite cheaply on eBay. It might be worth getting one, if your lens is one of those, just for the pop out window. If the pop out does not fit, you will still have a functioning hood for a relatively low cost. Reg...

don't know if it's a deal but collectable?
I've not got a Pentak :shock: :lol: I've got the black version of the 28-105mm in both Cosina and Kiron. The Gold one looks like the Cosina version (the 67mm filter is the giveaway).. The Kiron was the better lens. The other one looks like the v4 Cosina (58mm filter) which wasn't the best. ...

Sigma 120-400 HSM OS
Personally I would spend the extra £40 and get the 150-500mm that SRS have in limited stocks. Hi Mike, I did think about the 150-500 but after I added a 86mm UV filter to the cost is took me over what I had to spend. I had the bundle deal on the 120-400. Regards, Chris.

Ah ok. Don't use a filter on my 50-500mm (or any lens come to that) so didn't have the extra expense.

Ah ok. Don't use a filter on my 50-500mm (or any lens come to that) so didn't have the extra expense. If you saw how much dust and muck 25/30 700bhp stock cars create on a dry shale track you'd see the reason why I have a filter on to the protect the front of the lens lol. Regards, Chris.

Pentax DA15 or Sigma 8-16?
I'm thinking to buy a DA 15mm, while SRS offers a very good price for Sigma 8-16mm. But I'm not sure if any ND filter kit will work on it. Can anyone give some advice for me?

Pentax DA15 or Sigma 8-16?
Hi Liang The Sigma 8-16mm and ND filters such as Lee, from what i have read, I think you won't be able to use them unless you rig up a custom filter holder yourself, the problem is that the Sigma 8 -16 is very bulbous, and this will make any filter prone to vignetting as the filter will need to be ...

AF or MF? What filter size? (does make a difference).

Sigma 17-70 Lens Case
My advice would be to measure the lens then look on the Lowepro website to see which case you need. Their prices are very reasonable, especially considering the build quality of the cases. They are very well made indeed and protect lenses superbly - I consider them better than the old Pentax hard ca...

DA* 50-135 - Buying advice needed
Thanks for all the advice. Decision made - I've now bought a second-hand DA* 50-135 from SRS. I went into the store as they had 3 available at slightly differing prices. The one I settled on is in mint condition and also has a UV filter. Matt at SRS was extremely helpful and vey knowledgable...

DA* 50-135 - Buying advice needed
Whoa, they've sure messed up that lens - 77mm as opposed to 67mm filter size and it's now a great hulking beast like the various 70-200s (over 6cms longer alongside the extra 1cm wide, and presumably about twice the weight). The old Sigma gives great performance and handling in a relatively small - ...

sony/minolta 135/2.8 STF on pentax?
Thanks Tyr but still worth a try to see if you can mimic it with a gradient filter. It has a centre graduated filter in the middle of the lens next to the iris. Clear in the middle, darker to the edges. It is not a coated or dyed filter, but is actually shaped (negative) lens element. By making t...
