lense choices for lanscape - filter suitable. Legacy options.
Well I went for a 28mm 3.5 Paid about 55 quid. With a description extolling the virtues of the mecahnical quality and how it always had a UV filter on it to protect it, I was a bit surprised that the UV seemed to be in lieu of a lens cap! Surprised read pissed off. It did come with a retro leathe...

I have an old Vivitar 28mm f2.8 mf lens - cost me £20 or so - never thought I could or would take it seriously as I bought it for the hell of it - what a lens it is my main lanscape lens now :D It flares if pointed into the sun but otherwise I love it :D

I know the feeling - I solf my 50mm 1.4, and kept my manual 50mm 1.7 I thought it would be the other way round! But...am I expecting too much from the 28. Inifity isn't focused.

Sorry I meant to add - try focus fine tune on your camera - if that doesn't work check the lens mount on the mechanical operation of the lens to see if a bit more movement can be gained :D

My 18-135 and 8-16 needed -5 and -6 I tuned this one too with catch in focus and gradually turning until it fired. Not sure if this was the right way, but to my eyes it looks like a -10 (maybe more, but got no time to ender the mod menu now....) Haven't exensively tested it, but still looks o...

If you can't focus on infinity, I would ask for my money back. Check the item description on ebay first. If it doesn't match the description or there are faults that could not have been expected you should let the seller know you are not happy. A lot of sellers are decent people but don't kn...

I was thinking that... Will get some more shots off on it, and see if I can get it to work, but I shouldn't have to get my eye in for an inifity shot! I notice he said it came with pouch, UV and rear cap. Stupid me though it would come with a lens cap - lens is actually fine since the UV is t...

lens?
You could have my DA 18-135 for £280 - it is as new but as it came with my K5 it does not have box or case. Does have caps, hood and a Skylight 1A filter/lens protector. Roger.

Pentax SMC DA XS 40mm f/2.8 accessories
I have just bought a Pentax DA XS 40mm as a compact lens to add to my holster bag when I mainly want to use my Tamron 10-24mm, but could use having something a little longer available. The lens cap seems rather vulnerable as it is only push fit so I am considering getting an aftermarket clip on t...

Pentax SMC DA XS 40mm f/2.8 accessories
Hi Stephen, Thanks for the feedback. Looks like that is probably the way to go. I just need to decide which of the several filter sizes my other lenses use I should aim to step up to!

portrait lenses?
I used a Tamron Adaptall 105 f2.5 in my film days (Canon AE-1 I'm afraid) I still use this from time to tie on my Pentax DSLRs too. Nice light weight lens, sharp too but with nice bokeh. You can use it with a KA or plain K adaptor (the KA ones seem to go fo £50+ just for the adaptor!) I found 90- 10...

SMC A50mm f1.2 vs FA 43mm f1.9 limited
No they would have completely lost the effect I wanted at what I assume you would call a reasonable aperture, so no they wouldn't have been as "good" - I make a concious choice to use F/1.2 as I like the artistic effect and don't worry about the aberrations the lens has. Thanks for going a bit furt...

DA 35mm f2.8 Macro LTD v Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM
Owned the Sigma 50mm but not the Pentax 35mm, IMHO, The Sigma is a lovely lovely lens, but I sold it on here last year and I do miss it, but the reason I did sell it, is it is just to big and heavy for what it is and the filter size at 77mm is just daft for a standard prime lens and cost me a sma...

DA 35mm f2.8 Macro LTD v Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM
I reckon it all depends on what you want to use it for. The 35mm is the nearest to a standard lens on APS-C and your limited has a macro facility should you require it. It's a great lens. Have you considered a Pentax F or FA 50mm (and they only need a 49mm filter) but I'd get it to supplement the...

55-300 performance
Just checking, take it there was no filter attached? I ask, as mine is superb without a filter, put one on and it is like a different lens. Sorry to ask as I have never used a focus chart, but are they not supposed to be flat on a wall or something, plus was your camera on a tripod?

55-300 performance
Tried taking off the uv filter but there were no obvious changes. If there isn't a problem with front or back focusing then what is causing this softness. Could it be correctly by repair?Just checking, take it there was no filter attached? I ask, as mine is superb without a filter, put one on and...
