Hello from SE Wales
Hi Rob, wlcome to the forum. :D How please of the DA* 55 are you so far I'm also looking at it but I don't know yet, I also want a 50-135 you see but don't have the cash for both :( For outdoor shooting and flowers a polarizer might be usefull. It makes the sky more blue and the gras more green...

Hello from a Canadian in N. Yorkshire
Thanks again for all the welcomes. My dad is back home and managed to give me an inventory list and a picture. It looks like I am going to have some fun with this as it is an ME Super and the winder is for the MX. Plus, the lenses do look like some good all around lenses to play with and so I don't ...

First DSLR owner from Devon
Hello Just bought my first DSLR, Km with twin DAL lenses after owning a few compacts and film SLR a good couple of years back. Looking forward to getting out there and snapping away! Hoping to get a polarizing filter pretty soon. With these cheap lenses is it worth spending out on the Hoya pro...

A new happy go lucky K-7 user
Hi Michael,welcome to the forum.I have the VL Nokton SL2 58mm f1.4. It's a great lens,it's the one i use the most out of several good lenses.It's sharp,relatively compact,and has a lovely focusing action,nicely damped.Buy the lens hood though,saves needing a filter.I also have two modern Zeiss lens...

Hi everybody
I haven't got it yet. I am waiting for my Nikon to sell so I can order it. How does this sound for a keen little set up? The K-7 with grip, 18-55 WR, a 60-250mm f/4, and a 15mm limited. I did win an auction for an AF-360 flash today. So it should be on it's way. Anyone have any experience positive...

Hi from SL1 with new Kx
Hi, also bought a Kx recently for much the same reason as Derek and starting to learn, Decades ago when I had a film SLR it was common practice to have a filter (I think UV) fitted which stayed on permanently - as much as to protect the lens as to improve photos I think. Gazing at my pristine ne...

Hi from SL1 with new Kx
Thanks for the welcome! Perhaps I need to start a poll? Any particular make of filter recommended?

David aka grumpyguts
Just thought I'd say 'hello'. Been into photography since impulsive buy of (ahem!) Fuji S7000 bridge camera back in 2003, got more serious, and no run a kit based around a K10D (WHO'd want a K5, anyway :mrgreen:), then added an ME-super, which came with the fantastic f1/1.4 50mm SMC lens, and a few ...

Hello everyone
Hello, I am Lee. I have just bought a Kx with 18-55mm DA L and a 55-300mm DA, I also picked up an old Sigma 28-80mm Macro for next to nothing. I have used other brands of Dslr, but have never had so much fun as I have with this little gem (though the mrs was not too impressed with the result when I ...

Hello Graham from Norfolk
By all accounts the DA*300 is a superb lens (I cant afford one yet:cry:) but I agree with aliengrove, you would find it very restricting on its own, you will also find it cheaper to buy the kit lens with the camera than deciding you need one later on. For insects you could always buy a close up "...

Hi all - complete newbie
I am a complete photography novice. I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHY! My girlfriend's Dad gave her his K10D when he bought something new (no idea what) but she's not interested in learning how to use it and is happy to use her point and shoot or camara phone for snaps. As she doesn't want to lear...

Hi all - complete newbie
Hi Eke and welcome. You have a K10D - a very cool camera and a pretty capable tool so you should be taking ace shots in no time. In terms of your questions - where to start??? I would strongly recommend you find a copy of the K10D instruction manual, as it is pretty good as I recall at effectively t...
