I believe the Samyang 10mm has been delayed until the end of next year. I understand that the 8-16mm has high distortion until 12mm, apart from being big and not taking any kind of practical filter system.

Tamron AF 70-300mm LD Di A17 Lens Info Required
I bought this lens recently as a local purchase off Gumtree. It came with no box, instructions or lens hood. It came with a Jessops UV filter. All for £45. I've checked the Tamron website and the images of the Pentax fit A17 doesn't match this one. The one on their website shows an AF/MF switch whe...

12-24 zoom or 14mm prime
I ruled out the 15mm because it was f4 which meant I gained nothing over the 12-24. The 14mm was F2.8 and so could have gained me something in lower light situations. The 10-20mm sigma sounds a good option but uses a 82mm filter thread. I intend to carry/use a variable ND and a polariser for ph...

12-24 zoom or 14mm prime
The older version of the sigma has 77mm filter and is non HSM The 'older' version is also reputed to be better, but I haven't tried the newer one so can't speak from experience.

Sigma EX DG Macro 24-70mm f/2.8 Lens
Hi Andrew, I have one which I like. I like the pseudo macro ability and find it good for flowers etc. Although I don't use mine much I wouldn't sell it as for the price I think you would struggle to get better in this focal range. The main negatives would be weight, although this doesn't bother me...

FA 31 Limited - why is it so good?
I have a soft spot for all of the lenses I currently own. I'm pleased it's that way round -- me with the soft spot rather than them. I prefer using the primes (habit, and their unobtrusiveness). Of the primes, the FA31 is probably on the camera most often. Others have spoken of its optical qualit...

Anybody used Harrow Technical for repair?
This is a Takumar, but you can see the 3 screws. On this lens just the beauty ring needs removing to access them. The A Series doesn't have a beauty ring so the front might be held by grubsrews into the body. http://retinarescue.com/pentax50mmf1.4.html - I think the A35 F2.8 is similar to t...

The plain plastic ring that sits between the front element and the filter ring can be removed to reveal the three screws that have most likely worked loose. This is a Takumar, but you can see the 3 screws. On this lens just the beauty ring needs removing to access them. The A Series doesn't have...

Sigma 18-250 Macro
Hi there. After a lot of consideration I am thinking of getting the Sigma 18-250 Macro. this seems to be a new lens from Sigma with revamped size and weight. Also on Dx0 tests shows up as equal to the tamron 18-270. As the new pentax 18-270 sounds like a re-badged tamron the Sigma seems to nbe a bet...

Sigma 10-20 or 8-16
Been getting used to a recently acquired (and repaired) 10-20 and I'm beginning to like it a lot. Quite a bit of distortion at the edges but you get experience in handling it. Nice colours, sharp enough. The reason I plumped for this and not the 8-16 was the filter issue.

Sigma 10-20 or 8-16
Are we sure you can't attach filters to the Sigma 8-16mm? I only have the 10-20mm but SRS are indicating that the 8-16mm can take 72mm filters and offer a bundle with a Kenko UV filter . Glyn

Sigma 10-20 or 8-16
I love my 8-16 and I don't think anyone should be put of buying into it because of filter issues, which imo at least aren't really all that necessary with this lens (duck). This filter issue however, seems to have been overcome to some degree, albeit a pricey one! See here:- The 8-16 club is ...
