2nd hand Macro Lens for K100d
Here are some pointers: 1 Forget zooms. The best lenses for macro are primes (lenses whose angle of view is fixed). 2 Forget auto-focus - it's not necessary. This means you can happily use lots of older lenses. 3 If you can't afford a proper macro lens (like the Pentax D-FA 100mm macro...

Bit of a quandry.
Well found myself a mint 16-45mm with filter off the "other" Pentax forum for £130 delivered so that is hopefully on its way as I type. Thanks for the input.

Bit of a quandry.
16-45mm arrived this morning complete with instructions, lens hood and a filter.Came in a DA 55-300mm box :shock:). The seller did tell me his girlfriend had thrown the box away so he would find something suitable but still, I wouldn't have put it in another lens box especially if I still had the l...

Bit of a quandry.
That's so you can adjust a fitted polarising filter. Coincidentally, two minutes before reading this post I mounted a brand new B+W MRC CP on my 16-45mm. However, I bought a 77mm size (so I would not need to buy another) with a 67-77mm step-up ring. This means the Pentax hood will not be able to fit...

Ebay prices.
This afternoon, for the third time in as many months, I have been outbid for a Pentax 50mm f1.7 F lens. I can't believe the price these lenses go for! You can buy a BRAND NEW Nikon 50mm f1.8 AF lens for around £80. A Brand new Canon 50mm f1.8 AF lens for around £70. I know it's a good lens but it c...

Stark raving mad. (another Ebay thread)
At that price I will sell mine and buy the 1.7X pentax teleconverter. I thought it was a bit over the top when I paid £70 delivered from the USA a couple of months ago. ...and the country is supposed to be heading for a recession, where do people get the money from? I was watching this: http:...

Polariser or not - Sigma 10-20
The affect depends on the environment and angle to the sun. But with wide angle you're going to get gradients of dark-light-dark or light-dark-light from one side to the other. Other than the few times I tried to make a panorama image, I never found it all that problematic or distracting. (if yo...

The filter on my 10/20 is a KOOD UV FILTER.

Need lenses for K10D
There's a general feeling that lenses older than the "A" series aren't worth having on a DSLR because the camera can't set the aperture and consequently everything has to be done manually (in addition, the K10D can give somewhat flaky meter readings when the lens is used in any way other than fully ...

stupid question
I'd be really concerned about the salt, I once saw it permanently mark the multicoating on Zeiss 10-100 16mm movie camera lens. The whole front group had to be replaced. This really is a situation where you should use a 'protective' UV filter.

Old vs New
Martin, just on that 21mm, I got one for a song, but it was missing its Hood and lens cap, I managed to get a cap for it but i'm loathe to spend almost 50quid for a new hood, so i'm going to make one for it. Do you use it more with the hood or without. Hood always on, unless I have to use a...

28mm shift
Im pretty sure there are 2 forum members who have one.. One I think is gartmore I do ideed, without a doubt the finest lens I own, but as everyone has pointed out about as much use on a digital body as a 50mm Shift would be on a film one! I'd imagine that when shifted the light would be falling on...

Possible misprice Jessops Pentax 50-200mm f/4-5.6 DA ED Lens
Womble - do as I did and add a couple of small items and get free delivery. Just the skylight filter would do it!

Possible misprice Jessops Pentax 50-200mm f/4-5.6 DA ED Lens
My order has just been confirmed - lens plus filter - so excited - can't wait for it to arrive. Thanks for the comments on this forum - might have missed the chance to add to my lens collection if I hadn't come across your dicussion. But then again - I shouldn't spend money I don't have, maybe I sho...

28mm and 35mm for landscapes
Now with digital, I assume that means getting a 15mm or less. So I guess a 16mm that wide open is true, linear and fast is a good option for all landscape. Again, this is why the DA 16-45 is a recommended lens. The focal lengths perfectly cover what you might need for landscapes, it is fast enough a...
