Probably by mistake ..... All retractable tapes are left handed

You have to use the pencil with your left hand to mark where to cut etc.

Most RH people use them upside down

Ensinor primes are quite good (not the zooms or 2x TC).

Especially the 135mm which focuses to about 1M.

Others are 24mm and 28mm.

I don't normally use AF with a macro lens so I had never set the AF micro adjustment on my K-5 for the SMC Pentax-FA 50mm f/2.8 Macro lens until the other day. After I'd done it I did one test shot on a bottle and couldn't believe how good the AF is.

It's also the sharpest lens I've got at f/2.8

100% crop from JPG. Available light.
WIDE OPEN F/2.8 at 1/10th sec. 100ISO
The bottle label is quite rough printing. Not banknote quality.

I can't wait for the posts ..... Such as ..........

"I bought a Pentax FF along with the KIT LENS.... Pentax FA* 70-200mm f/2.8 and
as everyone knows KIT LENSES are Rubbish! Would I be better off buying
a Pentax-M 50mm f/1.7. My budget won't stretch to the 'A' Series 50mm's "

Who made them Why don't they put that finder and 52X optical zoom in the new FF..... then people wouldn't need to buy any further lenses... 1248mm is plenty!

Are EVF's not off topic in this thread or even this forum. Pentax don't do any
Thank goodness

If Amstrad ever did a camera it would almost certainly have an EVF to appeal
to the numpties who used to buy Amstrad musiccentres for the meaningless
flashing lights

I can watch FLM Heads all day

Looks like the camera for the fondle slab generation hasn't even got mirror lock up during exposure .... It would have only confused them anyway .... mirrors are for selfies... Right!


I'm eagerly awaiting the Pentax WD-40
