The A series lens paint had a 7.44% of cobalt naphthenate., while the F series was increased to 7.76% to facilitate a better oxidative cure.

That explains it, then. I'm sure, like me, Charlotte always wonders how much cobalt napthenate her lenses are treated with

Thanks for the reply, surfseen. I think I will probably give it a miss, I think I would only use it for moon shots, and there's only so many of those you can take!

Great shots, 6 and 7 for me, though they are all excellent.

What a bummer. Hope you get it sorted quickly. I must confess that yesterday when I sold my K7, which was totally reliable, I wondered whether I should have hung onto it a few more months just to be sure the K5 is going to be as reliable....

I'm just thinking: Might these actually be a sensible investment?

Not my style though - if I had £300 to spare I'd be after an LX and 50/1.4!

You could always buy a gold LX to go with them...link

To sell two versatile zoom lenses and replace them with a single prime lens, especially a 50mm one, does not sound like very good advice to me. I think there's far better advice given already on this thread than this "pro' has given you. Keep the kit lenses and buy the the 35mm f2.4, which seems like a lot of lens for the money, and is a far better focal length as a first prime lens.

I'm just curious as to whether anyone has tried one of these link. It's a preset T mount lens. You get can get them on ebay new for 110 quid, so I am not under any illusions. however, I found two positive (ish) reviews on it, including this one link which is absolutely hilarious thanks to Google Translate. You can also get a 2x converter for it.

Have you updated the firmware? Just that I had a strange problem with mine, a strange whirring noise in the camera when I was reviewing pictures as if it was trying to autofocus, and black lines on the screen. It may be coincidence but since updating the firmware it's worked perfectly (touch wood).

Having sold both my kit lenses with my K7 yesterday, I want to get one of these, and was wondering if anyone has one they want to sell? I have looked at the Tamron, but I want the better build quality of the Sigma.

I just couldn't find a subject, nothing in Doha is more than 5 years old except the people, and they don't like being photographed! I have an idea though, and if I can find a way of implementing it I will get my entry in this month...I just hope this isn't another one to go the way of the PP challenge...
