I have an interest in the 28mm shift, mainly, to be honest, because I don't have one, so real LBA!
How does if perform on APSC please? I read somewhere that it really needs to be on a FF body.

I would have thought the 28mm might be a bit long for the shift effect to work but it's pretty cool - here are a couple of hastily snapped shots at f/8, 1/200. In the shifted shot, some CA is visible. You won't get the same width as on FF but step back and you can get a very useful effect. Considering this is a full frame lens, you can probably also benefit from the 'Composition Adjust' feature to get additional shift in your images.

Haris.
What condition is the super tak 50 1.4 in and does it come with the original caps.
What colour is the 77mm1.8 and the da70mm f2.4. and what is the condition.
Since you always have good Pentax gear to sell, may I have your ebay id.
Regards

It works really well. Obviously, on a full frame body you can be closer to your subject but if there is space it can be excellent. I use it in churches and cathedrals all the time. Additionally, if you do not have enough space, you can always take two images, one shifted and one not, and stitch them. Because of the shift, the stitching will be perfect every time.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Is the macro Takumar the sort that extends front and back when focused, with preset aperture at the front?
Thanks, Kris.
Thanks, Kris.

Hi mate, this is the original preset version and from what I've seen it extends a bit more than the Super/SMC versions to get 1:1 magnification.

Can I ask what you didn't like about the KP to move it on again so soon?

The colour. I got the silver one since my brother preferred my black KP, but realised pretty soon that it's a bit too bold for me. I don't have many silver lenses either. I'm buying a 2nd hand black version to replace it.
It still doesn't get as much use as the K-1 but I still want to keep one since the kit is more manageable (DA15, 40XS, 18-135 and maybe one of 77/70). If the black one I bought turns out to be in poor condition, I might return it in which case the silver one stays.

Thanks. Having come from the era of silver bodies (ME, MX, KII etc.) that's not something I'd have ever considered. Basically street cred then !

Good point about those old bodies - the silver paint on the newer bodies just isn't the same as the original metal (aluminium?) so even though they may look nice they feel a bit tacky for my liking. The same finish in black just feels nicer to me even though it sounds strange.
