An experiment
Not having £600 to purchase the Sigma lens I wanted and being very dissatisfied with my 2x converter I spotted this for $99 and decided to give it a go: It is a Bower 2x converter that goes on the front of the lens! (62mm thread) Here are my test shots (only to illustrate speed and magnifica...

My Macro Kit
There are other ways of making higher than 1:1 magnification macro photo's, but I think all require you to be fairly close to the subject. 1: Reverse mounting a 50mm lens on your camera. 2: Stacking a 50mm lens (you'll need a male to male filter stacking ring of suitable size) on the front of a ...

Latest "M" Purchase Need Another For The Prime Set
Bought this one on Ebay this week, bought virtually unseen as the photo was very poor. The lens came with its original case, an SMC Pentax UV filter (unmarked) and the lens is immaculate, mint like new. It's taken me ages to get one of these now I just need the M*300mm F4 for the M series prime set....

All the "M" Well almost (before the hammer falls)
Dear Peter, if I could keep what I want I'd keep the 20, 28 F2, 50 1.4, 85 F2 and 100mm F2.8 but the 20, 28 F2 and 85mm F2 are the most expensive apart from the 120mm which is rare so if I kept them I wouldn't make any money. I have 2 options keep the 28 F2, 50mm F1.4 and 85mm F2 and sell the res...

All the "M" Well almost (before the hammer falls)
. . . it's got a bash on the filter ring that makes it very hard to get a filter on . . . Tools are available to reform the filter ring. Alternatively it'd be a quick and inexpensive job for a repair centre like www.harrowtechnical.co.uk or www.asahiphoto.co.uk . Both advertise in the heading above....

A*300 f2.8 etc
I was hoping to get about £1100 which I dont think is unreasonable, and probably about £125 each for the converters.Someone somewhere is looking for one of those ! I have had it since new ('96 ) and its in excellent condition. I even had a protection filter made for the front element when I first ha...

MynNew 300mm Lens..
is the knob ahead of the aperture ring for a filter tray? Yes, pulls out a little drawer that takes a thin 49mm filter. Got to find a thin Polarizer for it.

Reverse stacking lenses
Clarky, it's very easy to make an adapter to fit your ringflash on the bayonet mount of the reversed lens. Take an old filter with a suitably sized thread (I chose 58mm) and remove the glass. Take an old manual extension tube and remove the K mount. Take some araldite, the two items from above ...

Reverse stacking lenses
I thought of that Pete and made an adapter for it, I made mine out of a rear lens cap, I cut the top out of it and glued a filter to it, with the glass removed, but it makes the viewfinder so much darker when trying to compose and takes away most of your working distance which is only a couple of in...

The Grandfather of them all
Very nice indeed! Now you'll be wanting a genuine Pentax 46mm filter to go on the front? :wink:

Very nice indeed! Now you'll be wanting a genuine Pentax 46mm filter to go on the front? :wink: Damn, I was hoping no-one would notice that :oops: More importantly, I'm missing the original lens cap. So if anyone has a 46mm metal "AOCO" or "Pentax" lens cap for sale, please let me know? R

I don't have either at the moment, but many such things pass through my hands so I'll keep you in mind if either filter or cap turn up. :)

SMC Pentax 85-210mm f4.5 - K series monster!
I know what you mean Matt - I have the same one but in M42 SMC Takumar - it really is a beastie but the most beautiful lens to use - it weighs in at 788g with filter and lenshood.I also have an attachment lens for it fitted in the top of the case. I may just follow your example and give it an air...

SMC Pentax 85-210mm f4.5 - K series monster!
Just hoping that I find an attachment lens for sane money now. I suspect my best chance will be to rummage through filter boxes at any camera shops I pass. Luckily Pentax printed "Attachment Lens 1:4.5/85~210mm" on the side of the part so I won't have to wade through listings for generic close-up fi...

A Pentax ES
I was out using my ES and my "new" S-M-C 28mm f/3.5 lens today (see thread and one) and took a few snaps of my gear while I was about it. 1. Detail of the ES. Taken using a Jupiter-9 85mm lens mounted on a K20D with an extension tube. Note the wacky bokeh on the X of Pentax! 2. The E...

A Pentax ES
The little Jupiter makes quite a good macro lens! :) I was amazed at how sharp I managed to get the "Asahi Pentax" on the filter given its position in the frame. Wacky bokeh in the lettering in the background though! K.

TEST Takumar 58/2 v Super Tak 50/1.4 v M50/1.4 v FA43/1.9
It's been a while since I posted up some test results, but the arrival of a couple of new lenses here at chez hefty1 has given me the impetus to actually do one again. As before, the tests are completely subjective so if you have any complaints about procedures then please use the new style complain...
