The obvious one to go would be my little used 50-135*, but I know it makes no sense selling a * to buy a kit lens really. Alternatively I could sell the 17-70 I guess. I probably wouldn't miss that 1mm at the wide end - or would I?
How long is the focus throw off the lens?Mike-P wrote:
According to the user on the other forum the motor is totally silent and MUCH faster than SDM. The focus ring is also close to the camera body rather than in the usual place.
That was my experience of it at Photokina too.According to the user on the other forum the motor is totally silent and MUCH faster than SDM. The focus ring is also close to the camera body rather than in the usual place.

If it's very short than that might be the reason.
The DA*16-50 for example is much faster than the DA*50-135 but the focus throw of the DA*16-50 is 1/2 or 1/3 from the DA*50-135.
Just throwing something out there.
Pentax have said they will keep using SDM in the DA* lenses so they must preform well enough apparently

Indeed and I know that I don't know what kind of motor it is that's why I'm asking you, since you seem to know.Anvh wrote:

What kind of motor use the DC?The DC motor is some variation of SDM
I know there is a patent out there for a brushless DC motor but Pentax or anyone else has not yet confirmed that that motor is used in the DA 18-135mm WR.
The only thing i can find from Pentax is Direct Current (DC) motor supports quick, quiet autofocus operation but all motors used inside the camera are direct current because it only has DC power from the battery so that doesn't say much.
Since you said it's a variation of the SDM does that mean it's an ultrasonic motor?

With those small screens i always let the taskbar hide itself, most of the time it's just enough to make the screen more usable.
You can also place the task bar at the side but I'm not used to that but that's also an option.

Amin like he explains it doesn't need to happen all the time but there is a change it might happen.
So if you're making photos with SR on a tripod and one (out of a 100) is fuzzy then SR might be that caused it.

Sorry George I actually got you mixed up with someone else ^^;
With Lightroom you've the option to automatically convert RAW files to DNG when you import them from SD card so it's less of a hassle that way, without it i wouldn't have done it either.

We don't waste drinking time with songs Stefan.
That means that in 90 days I could be out of a job, still it'll give me more time to take photos.
