NEW Pentax DA 16-50 Lens Question
I am new to lenses and not really sure what the prices and ranges are out their for Pentax. That is why I asked the question here rather than searching the net for answers. What about Sigma or Tamron ? It's worth searching the net for example pictures and reviews on the Sigma 10-20mm. The pictur...

Macro: Keeping the appeture open on a reversed lens.
Hello folks, My first post here, but I've been dropping in for a look & lurk for a while now. After seeing some fantastic macro photo's via links posted here i thought i would like to give it a go, hopefully by using some of the lenses that i already own. My Camera is a Samsung GX-1L ...

Bellows adaptor
Hi, My twopennyworth... Often with bellows, one reverses the lens (eg a 50mm lens). My understanding is that this improves the quality of the optical path because a standard lens is designed to have a greater subject to lens distance than the lens to film/ sensor plane distance. So by reversing ...

Most Wanted Lens Thread!
Well I hope Mr P is reading this. My 28mm Shift is easily the best lens I own; sharp as a tack even fully wide open, delivers paper cuts at F8 and probably because of the palaver of using it: tripod with spirit levels, grid focussing screen, pre-set aperture, manual focus with DoF scale and filter w...

Pentax SMC-A* 85/1.4 at Ffordes...be careful!
Matt, It's probably as well you didn't go and see/handle the FA* 85mm F1.4 because I doubt you'd have been able to resist. It really is very special in every way - build, optics & handling. People would cringe to see mine though because not long after I bought it I dropped it out of my ruc...

The 40mm DA Ltd arrived this morning, first time in years that I've been hammered by HMRC. So £45 including Parcelforce's handing fee reduced my savings to just £20 over some our chum's prices. Thats life! Anyway what an eccentric delight it is, with the option of 30.5mm filters screwed into the...

Just to be really perverse, does anyone know if you can get SMC Pentax 30.5mm UV filters? Ken The 18mm wide angle lens for System 10 (better known as the Pentax 110) has a 30.5mm thread so such filters did exist at one time. You may have fun getting one though, try www.pentax110.co.uk, he has the...

30.5mm usually standard filter size on JVC camcorders , so should be readily available.

DA* 16-50 Photographs
I'm not sure if I do want one yet. Sacriledge? The 16-45mm is quite compact compared to the 16-50mm, so I think I'll wait and see it in the glass so to speak before I jump in. And then there's that huge filter size...it's fortunate that I rarely use filters.

DA* 16-50 Photographs
I definitely don't need one :D It's just that the bokeh looks much nicer than the 16-45. The 24-90 has wonderful bokeh, and I'm loathed to sell it on. Filter size - I have 77mm Lee and Cokin filters already :D Nice to standardise on one filter between the 12-24 and 16-50. But it'll have to wait...

17-70mm F2.8-4.5 DC MACRO lens
What is this lens like? Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4.5 DC MACRO lens (for digital) Would be used as the main lens, just need another polorizing filter, cause the 55mm won't fit.

Bayonet Fitting Lens Hoods
Can anyone tell me if lens hoods from different manufacturers have a standard bayonet fitting? I am trying to find a hood for my 28 -105 (62mm filter thread) at a reasonable price and would prefer a bayonet to thread fit. There is a Nikon hood http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&...

Reverse mounting for MACRO
One of these days I will get the Pentax 100m Macro, but :roll: in the meantime I have read on previous threads you can get some pretty good effects reverse mounting the 50mm 1.7 FA. :?: Would you, can you do the same with the 50mm 1.4, which I now have (presuming yes) and if so, what accessory/...

Reverse mounting for MACRO
I've come by a 28mm Tokina lens with a 49mm filter thread (not bad for £6). Just stuck that on the reversing adaptor, and here's the result: It's not at all sharp - I just hand-held it to get this, but as you can see, the magnification is much bigger than with the 50mm lens reversed. I...

31mm Limited lens
I doubt that you'll find a better prime lens anywhere than the 31mm Limited. The downside: I think I'm right in saying (I don't have mine to hand at the moment) that the built-in hood is not removable which makes the fitting of filters difficult, if not impossible. Others will correct me soon eno...

"Upgrade" at zero cost!
I recently became dissatisfied with a Tamron 28- 105 lens that I was given as a birthday present a few years ago. I had taken a couple of pictures with massive flare (under admittedly provoking conditions). When I read about such issues with this lens (on another website) I was almost growling at my...

"Upgrade" at zero cost!
The other day, I sat down to tidy up my camera bag and looked at the front of the lens. It had a 1A filter on it, from when it used to be commonplace advice to fit one "to protect the expensive front element". Paul i had the same thing happen with a 1A filter on my Tamron 28-300 and could'...
