SIGMA 24-70mm f2.8 IF EX DG HSM any good?
It is a big beast of a lens but in my opinion it is a stunning lens and am sure you will enjoy it. Agreed, as it might be somewhat larger and/or heavier than the Pentax XS 40mm The Sigma 24-70 f2.8... Optically one incredible lens, try to find a zoom lens that is better in PK. The second best th...

SIGMA 24-70mm f2.8 IF EX DG HSM any good?
About filters on the Sigma 24-70... Basically only one filter will work on the end of the lens; especially if it is a filter such as a rotating polarizer. In most cases if two 82mm filters are used, it manages to get into the image edges

Pentax Forums first impressions of the new 16-85mm
Well I hope not LennyBloke! We have both invested in this haven't we...:lol: I'll get mine today and I'll be out trying it tomorrow, I haven't had a 16-50 since the days of my K5IIs, so I'm eager to know what the stopped down edge performance is like on 24Mp, if it doesn't work out, Like I said...

AF problem on Pentax 18-135
Hi, thanks for the reply. The only filter in use is a UV filter mainly for front element protection Dave

AF problem on Pentax 18-135
Hi, thanks for the reply. The only filter in use is a UV filter mainly for front element protection Dave Try it without the filter. If it then works ok, join the debate over whether or not a filter is the best way to protect the front lens element! :)

AF problem on Pentax 18-135
I have tried without filter but to no avail. Still auto focusing above 35mm but not between 18mm and around 35mm. This has got me stumped.

Compare WR to non WR lenses
I live in Wales, what is a cloudless sky :shock::shock::?::?: Do they not have nice weather in Wales? I'd like a wide angle WR lens but I don't think there is one. My DA*16-50mm lens is quite wide. And its WR. And its been drenched many times without any noticeable consequences. The picture above...

I'm not sure there's a realistic gap for wildlife Rob, the 150-450mm fits the bill, plus of course the 560mm, which is quite compact for its length. Could we really afford a 600mm f/4 or 400mm f/2.8? The existing lenses are pushing it, but just about affordable. It depends on our circumstances i ...

The merits of the kit lens.
Just remember, it could be worse. Remember that, one of the kit lens offerings for the Pentax K-01 was the Pentax 40mm XS? Sure it's incredibly small, compact, lightweight, and all. But if one would want to attach any type of a filter such as a circular polarizer - or better yet, a lens shade....

Full Frame Lenses
I really need a 24-70mm f2.8 if I'm going to get the full frame body IF one is lucky enough to find one new; one of the best (currently being sold?) PK full-frame lenses is the: Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 IF EX DG HSM. The constant (through the zoom range) aperture only takes second to the optics of the len...

Full Frame Lenses
Looks like the 24-70 D-FA is being announced tomorrow... a 2.8 as well.. No * and not as gorgeous as the FA *28-70 $1900 apparently Other specs on the lens should be interesting. Should be interesting to see if Pentax would be able to improve upon something such as the Sigma 24-70 (cons...

Which weathersealed lens for my K50?
I think the 18-55 WR is underrated personally. It's a quality bit of kit for not much money, and is WR sealed. Am interested to see if people notice a significant different moving to the 16-50... I've only used the 18-55 II in the DAL version. I used to have an 18-55 I which was good but the 16-50...

55 - 300mm WR
Thanks for the comments. It's not a lens I've used a lot and didn't get all that great results with but on reading through the forum it seemed that putting any kind of filter on seemed to degrade the image, so when it is in use it's "naked". I was quite pleased with the results I got and as it seems...

Pentax FA 28-105mm f/3.5-5.6
The Minolta lens is slightly lighter but Canon, Nikon and Sigma are heavier. The Sigma is twice the weight of the Pentax. The extra weight is probably due to the size of front glass. The Pentax and Minolta/Sony are 62mm filter, the Canon and Nikon are 77mm and the Sigma is 82mm! Best regards

Pentax FA 28-105mm f/3.5-5.6
Not AF but I've still got a Vivitar Series 1 28-105mm from the 1980's f/2.8 - f/3.8 with a 67mm filter. There were two versions. I'm not sure what spec.the other one was. There was also a Gold plated version made by Cosina. I've also got a similar (possibly better) Kiron version f/3.2 - f/4.5 67...

Wondering what the field of view of the DA lenses is on the K-1?
Thanks for these shots John. In case anyone thinks that using crop mode on the K1 is going to give disappointing results, it doesn't. I have been comparing results using DA 21 and DA 70 in crop mode on the K1 with identical shots taken with the same lenses on my K5II. My first efforts showed the K1 ...
