My wife's K-m twin-lens kit came without lens hoods, just wondering if anyone has a spare they could sell, they are silly money online, seen the lens cheaper! Or does anyone know of a cheap alternative, don't want one that screws into the filter thread. Am also intersted in the lens hood for the 50-200 kit lens if anyone has one.

I a lways shoot Raw save a few hdr,s I have done in camera and one days shooting when I did not notice it was shooting jpeg. i thought it might save the lens correcctions as a sidecar file if its switched on and then apply these corrections in ACR or other software. have to say though I have not noticed any particular distortion or aberration from the WR kit lenses.

I have an Auto-Chinon f2.8 28mm manual lens in good condition that I no longer require as I have recently obtained a Sigma 24mm. If anyone wants it they can have it for the price of postage. I got it for free and so don't want any money for it. I would prefer it to go to someone who's a bit broke as I have been in the same situation myself until very recently. If you think you will get some use out of it then pm me. I haven't used it much but it seems to work fine.

I have managed to get a Tamron 90mm macro so will stick with that for the moment. However, i have also just got a 28mm so might try it out with a reversing ring and extension tubes some time in the future. thanks for the advice!

Yes Jon very happy did not expect to get 3 lenses in 3 days though my wife has nabbed the sigma. Sure she will let me borrow it tho! After deciding I could not afford a new lens a week ago its been a bit of a week!

I just popped back into Wildings and bought this lens for £40. Does anyone know any details on it? It says it's macro, but only 1-4. It's in exceptional condition. They also have a Pentax SMC 75-150 f4 constant aperture zoom lens with contacts on the mount for £40 and I was wondering if this lens is worth buying or not? The other lens they have is an Auto-Chinon 50mm f1.8 but as I just got the Pentax f1.4 version am not really interested in this.
I have been trying not to buy lenses recently as I am broke but the two I got seemed too good an oppurtunity to miss. That makes 3 lenses in a week!

Don't think i can justify buying the zoom even if it's good but would appreciate any info on it and could possibly get it for someone on the forum if they are interested in it.

Someone wentt in in this morning and bought the Pentax-A 50mm f1.8, it would be nice if it was as a result of my post last night!
