I don't really know what to say, they look great but why the flash if you've the tripod. Flash light makes the photos quite flat you know so probable without you might have ended with better photos.

Nice photo and those colours.

How do you like the AF160, I've played with a demo model at photokina.
It comes in his own case with adapters and things like that, it looks like a wonderfull piece of kit but the price is just a bit too high for me.

What do you mean Peter, that's the current one.
The photos & info I'm showing is suggest that they are from the upcoming roadmap but like I said I find it very questionable how real this must be.

With the DFA645 25/2.8 & DFA645 55/2.8 I don't have a problem, one is even on the current roadmap. The DA*30mm was on the roadmap before the current one with the 1.4x TC SDM, Pentax has said that those will come at a later date if I remeber correctly.

Some photos and info taken from the Dutch forum.










DFA645 25/2.8
DFA645 55/2.8

DFA*50/1.0 SDM
DA135/2.8 LIMITED
DFA*20/2.8 SDM
DA*400/4 ED (IF) SDM

I'm really questioning how real this is to behonest.
DFA* lenses for which camera, there is no FF with SDM or are pentax also busy with a fullframe.
Also on the previous roadmap there was the DA*30mm that would have the same design as the DA*55mm but no news on that here.

Ah well it's nice to throw some rumors on the forum

Nice photo with the flash, maybe a bit more light on the table might have been better but still I like it as it is.
Also watchout for reflection, it's hard not to get them in. I'm still struggling with it myself.

The darker background won't help you reduce the highlights you see now, those are things that are behind you.

I don't know how you've done it but maybe in a dark room and then with the flash you will get rid of the refelction but you get the reflection of the flash then though but that isn't so bad I believe.

Amin surely can give you the perfect advice for it

I simply throw the cap in my bag and leave the lens cap off the lenses while switching them and of the end of the day put the lens cap on for storage.
Probable some will horror about this but there is nothing that can scratch the lens.
All have their own space in the bag and I face them down with the glass against the soft padding. I do however always please the K-mount endcap on it.

Yeah you completely lost me there.

Like you said with the other hoods it's a tinny bit of a struggle but it goes on quite smooth with a nice feel at least with my lens.

Lowe Slingshot might fit your bill, I don't have it but others here do.
Depending pn the size of the bag and the lenses it will fit in your lenses plus the rest and you've a top compartment for your food and the likes.

Is the DA 18-250 still in production, I thought they discontinue it.

Take a look at the Sigma 18-250 HSM that's the only option I believe.
Tamron has discontinue their 18-250 as well because of the 18-270
