An alternative 28-105 for the K1 ?
If the comparison is with your old Apsc lenses I can see the logic. But I don't believe it will give an indication of how the lens will perform on a full frame body given the difference in pixel count and Anti-aliasing filter

Pentax Limited Lens Case 2
Yes, I've wanted one of them for ages but haven't yet bought. Microglobe are the only company outside of Japan and the US that I know has stocked them. I should mention I picked up a non-Pentax branded case that serves the same purpose very well, though it stores the lenses in two rows rather th...

Lens hood for 43/1.9
The filter thread for the FA43 and DA40 are both 49mm so the DA hood may well fit? I can test it for you in the next couple of days if you like? Or they may be someone on here who has quicker access to this combination ;) p.s. I've got a feeling I have a spare DA40 hood :shock:

DA* 11-18mm and Filters
When I last posted about acquiring the DA* 11-18mm the question of filters was raised. I've had a little adventure investigating this question. Not having a suitable set of filters myself I made a call out at the camera club I belong to for a filter set to try with an 82mm connector ring. One lov...

DA* 11-18mm and Filters
Nigel, Thank you for taking the time to answer the question on filters. That is an extremely useful post. I would not have thought about the lugs for the hood preventing fitting the adaptor ring. You have done well to find a way around the problem. At such wide angles one is dealing with fine to...

Samyang 14mm performance
I've bought a Samyang 14mm f2.8 lens to assess how it compares to the Pentax 15-30 (at the wide end of course) as I'm increasingly finding I leave the Pentax at home due to its bulk. It's certainly smaller and lighter, but it does of course have that huge, bulbous front element - so a downside would...

Samyang 14mm performance
Really nice images. The Sunflower being my favourite. I considered the Samyang when I first got my K1. But with my dodgy eyesight, and it's manual focus. Thought I'd better purchase the 15-30. So I cant compare them never having owned the Samyang. But Looking again at your pics I dont think I can't ...

Samyang 14mm performance
Thanks for all the comments - I think the biggest part of the problem is that I didn't expect the Samyang to be quite so good, as Stub suggests I don't think the Pentax 15-30 would stand head and shoulders above it :!: For flexibility the Pentax wins, for a significant reduction in size and wei...

Samyang 14mm performance
Could I just enquire what filter system are you using for the 15-30...? Are you using 150mm filters....?

Samyang 14mm performance
Could I just enquire what filter system are you using for the 15-30...? Are you using 150mm filters....? Yes - I'm using 150mm filters (mainly Lee) - currently on my second Haida filter holder for the Tamron/Pentax 15-30 (I stepped on the first one :oops: ) - but I might move over to Lee SW150 at...

Two new APS-C lens patents filed
I'd like a slower full frame 15-30mm that has a smaller filter ring so uses 100mm filters!

Two new APS-C lens patents filed
The DA* 11-18 is very usable on the K-1 so might fulfill that purpose if you can get a low profile filter holder.

Tamron Twin Tele - the lens porn - 6 pix
Dunno if you can make 'porn' out of these since I used natural light from one direction and tungsten from the other. Either way, it's provided a nice pink cast to everything! I have two of these so I leave one as a 135mm and the other as a 225mm. The photos show one or both of them. 1 This i...

New HD 16-50 in August?
I'll start saving. I've yet to find a "standard" zoom I'm happy with and the K-3iii deserves something good. I struggled to find a standard zoom that I was totally happy with. Started out with the kit lens on a K20D which was poor. The edge quality was terrible so I got a DA16-45mm. I loved this len...

Opinion of D FA 28-105 v D FA 24-70
If the 28-105 was an F4 lens then I would've been tempted - I have the Nikkor 24-120/4 and 24-70/2.8 (non-VR) but there is less of a size diffference between them and find myself using the 24-70 more. I waited for the f4 24-120 because of the faster aperture and that the older 3.5-5.6 was regarded a...

Filters?
I am new-ish to digital photography having used 120, 110 and 35mm film for decades previously then left photography aside for quite a while due to family and workload reasons. What's the advice nowadays on UV filters please? I used to have a UV filter on the lens as protection for the front el...

Filters?
I prefer not to put any filters on the front of my lenses, I use the lens hood for front end protection. Generally yes a poor quality filter will degrade the IQ

Filters?
The thinking is that UV filters are not needed on digital cameras as their effect on film doesn’t come across on a digital sensor - don’t ask me why, I am not that technically minded. They were more often kept on for lens protection as you say, I do sometimes use them but you are probably better off...

Filters?
Generally I always try to remember to install a lens hood, not only to exclude stray light but also to protect the front glass from accidental impact damage. However, I also agree with Rob - always using a filter removes the risk of accidentally damaging the front element when cleaning. I mostly h...

Filters?
I've run tests in the past and generally rsolution isn't much harmed by a quality filter. There is perhaps more of a chance of flare, and that was found to be the case. More importantly, there have been instances where a filter broken whilst on a lens has actually scratched the front element. ...
