I think Radio Caroline might have also used it in a Jingle

I think all the Kit lenses are about the same. I have seen bad results from the Mk 1, but the Mk 1 I had that came with a *ist DS was excellent. When I bought a K10D the Mk.1 with it wasn't as good and I bought a Mk2 off SRS via ebay for £40 and it was identical in performance to my original Mk. 1. So having sold the two cameras I now have just the MK2, but I had trouble deciding which was the best the original or the Mk2.

It would be unfair to name it, because it's actually a very
good lens, but obviously the corners aren't as good as the
Kit Lens. It is actually better than all the 24mm and 28mm's
I compared the Kit Lens with.

I've just checked the same shot 43mm Ltd against the Kit Lens
and the 43mm just pips it, but only just

I'll post the screen grab later from another PC.

In that case you need an ATP ProMax waterproof SDHC card

That's Nice!........................................ What is it!

The FA 28-80mm is a good lens.

Matt, most of the PZ functions don't work on any digital. More or less what you said is all that's available.

Don, did you know that most editors won't open a photograph of
a bank note, at least not a British one. That's why it takes so
long to open images the software scans it first for banknotes
Obsolete notes no longer in circulation are probably OK.

The do make good tests as shown here: link

This is a 100% crop of the top right hand corner of a comparison
between the 18-55mm Mk2 Kit Lens and a very good prime lens,
which I won't name because I don't want to embarrass it.
35mm Focal length. Pentax K-5 200ISO Tripod 2 sec delay.
The Kit Lens was just slightly better in the centre as well.
Edit: The Kit Lens is on the RIGHT


The shot shows quite clearly that there is nothing wrong with
the corners of the18-55mm Mk2 Kit Lens at 35mm. It's equally
as good at 24mm.

The 43mm Ltd is the only Ltd I've got. I bought it back in the
film days and it's a superb lens. I've only used it a few times
on digital, mostly because I prefer zooms. It does perform well
on digital.

I'm surprised the MTF test shows the edges lagging so far behind the
centres? The corners of the building photos don't indicate any
problems at all with the corners at f/8.

Nice shots Kitchen towel also makes a good diffuser.
Ring flashes tend to cause too many unwanted highlights on
shiny bits of insects etc.
