Russian 500mm mirror lens
It's all to do with the actual mount on the lens itself. On the Russian lens the M42 mount is a lot closer to rear of the lens - the Sigma has a longer space between the mount and the rear of the lens (if that makes sense!!) Hmm. The eBay entry for this one says it's a K fit. But the mount do...

Just Got my Pentax 31 Limited
Pentax finally sent me the Pentax 31 Limited in Black. I have been using it for a few days and am amazed by how versatile it is. Very sharp even wide open. I think the 31L and the 12-24 will be my lenses of choice for shooting fashion for interiors when not shooting in studio. Quite heavy though...

I can't see a difference between them, I'd suggest one is coated but they are the same price so seems unlikely :?:

Pete, It's pretty rare that I find I need an ND8, especially on the K10D and shooting RAW. (That's the Cokin "S" = strong) The other options from Cokin are: ND4 = P121M (medium) ND2 = P121L (light) Personally, I find the ND4 is sufficient for most cases. It's often easier just t...

Pete, Give Speedgraphic a call ;) They show them as "In Stock" and when I've bought stuff from them it's always been very quick. Matt

I can't afford anything!
Macro shots are achievable without a 'Macro' lens. Try putting something like a 70-210mm zoom on your camera. Get a cheap male to male filter thread adapter of appropriate size, and attach a 50mm lens, reversed, to the front of said 70-210mm (set to 210mm). Or, Get a K mount to 49mm thread (rever...

Is it ok having the contacts exposed like that? And can I get an adaptor from Jessops? And what's an extension tube... :oops: You should be able to get a male to male adapter, or stacking ring, from Jessops but you will have to know the filter sizes of the two lenses you intend to stack. Exte...

Now that's a difficult one, let me think . . . . Which lenses do you intend to use? The SMCP-F 70-210 and the SMCP-F 50 both happen to have 49mm filter threads so a stacking ring was easy to find. Ideally they should both be the same. If you have a zoom with a large filter thread, and a 49mm t...

I can't afford anything!
I've mentioned in the past that you can use a piece of electrical tape and two cokin filter rings to mount your 50mm lens to your 28-70, to get the same efect he's getting with a reverse mount adapter....might save somebody a couple bucks if they've got cokin rings laying about, and just want to try...

Can anyone advise, are close up filters and the combination of these filters any good? Not as good a a reversed lens or dedicated macro but do quite well. http://www.kleptography.com/index.htm look at the equipment page and the macro shots. http://www.lensmateonline.com/newsite/G2G1macro.html...

cheap lens clearout
I've somehow managed to accumulate a bunch of cheap lenses. all working well but surplus to requirements. so I thought I'd give you guys first shot at them before I bother with ebay. Nothing here is worth much over £20 but all of it usable. all lenses have front caps, I don't have quite enoug...

Noobie needs lenses
Welcome to the board :) I would heartily recommend the SMC-DA 16-45. It's more expensive than the kit lens (the 18-55), but is a superb "all-rounder". I've used it a lot for group shots and landscapes too and can say it performs most excellently :D If you're going to do landscapes, ...

Noobie needs lenses
Hey Memphis! Welcome. From what I read, you're a very knowledgeable newcommer. Agree with Matt re UV's. Really just two more light reflecting surfaces added to many lens elements. I don't really see the benefit. Now, polarizers! Aha, if you want to invest in a great filter (which has 4...

EXTENSION TUBES
I tried to buy an ND filter in my local Messups a couple of months ago. They not only didn't have one, they tried to tell me that they don't exist.
