16-45mm £229 or Tamron 17-50mm??
After reading a number of reviews I rarely take a lens past f8. (photozone.de especially) Funny you should say that. I was reading through the MTF data on photozone.de this evening, to see how the 18-55mm kit lens's performance at f11 compared with other lens they have tested. I checked four Pent...

Pentax polarising filter
I just spotted this on ebay, I'd buy it myself if I didn't already have one.

the usual quandry
Hi folks I wonder if some of you could indulge me with your thoughts on this.... I have a 16-45/4 but it's not repairable :-( I obtained a 24-90 which I thought would be my perfect solution, but I'm not impressed as it seems OK in the centre but quite soft at the edges at least with the copy...

the usual quandry
I've had the Tamron 17-50 for a couple of months now, and I love it. It's nice and sharp wide open. However I have read several anecdotal reports on forums that some (many?) of these lenses exhibit a degree of front focus. This was the case with my copy, after testing with a chart I had to add a...

the usual quandry
I would recommend that you stay with the DA 16-45 as the current price of the 17-70 is too much IMO. I had the 16-45 (a very nice one) and bought a very good copy of a 17-70 after testing a couple of samples (as always! :wink:). Upon reflection it was a sideways move as I do miss the wide end ...

Hi folks I wonder if some of you could indulge me with your thoughts on this.... c) a tamron 28-75/2.8 - not wide enough indoors, but longer is nice ? e) a sigma 24-60/2.8 - would like a bit of overlap with my 60-250 (but the 24-70 seems expensive and an inconvenient filter size too IIRC) ...

I've just found my Dad's old PK-A 28mm F2.8 and tried it on my K-7... I shot it at F2.8 as the light was fading otherwise I would have used a smaller aperture. I found it with a Hoya Skylight filter attatched. This is image straight out of the camera. Doesn't look too bad :)

I have just bought this lens |BUT it has a dent on the filter thread and two small scratches on the rear lens Would you try and force a uv filter on the lens or try and have it repaired Takumar Bayonet 28mm 1:2.8 k cost me £12.00 James

If it's a metal filter thread it's a relatively easy DIY fix. If it's plastic I wouldn't bother. My 50mm Macro had a damaged (metal) filter thread but I managed to straighten it enough to enable filters to screw on easily. There are specialist pliers available of different radius curves to fix...

Thank you for the advice Just come of the phone with SRS and there advice is try a UV filter on the lens and done worry about the rear element as the camera should focus past the scratches as you can't see them very easily Plus I just bought a 24mm 2.8 from them witch is the lens I was afte...

The Takumar Bayonet 28mm f2.8 isn't a bad lens, I've got a nearly mint one here that I have tried on digital. I might suggest a polarising filter to improve the colour rendition, as mine seemed a bit lifeless. There are websites that will tell you how to fix the filter thread, although I'd be a b...

...or by a an extra lens ("filter") placed in front. One originally came with the old Tamron 90mm I recently acquired without.
