ok thanks - sorry probs not supposed to discuss that here so much but how does it compare to the FA 50mm 1.4?

would it work on full frame do you know? thanks

thx for the link -
I called SRS about a month ago as they had the K30 at £330, and they told me they were sold out and wouldnt get new ones as it's discontinued
will keep checking

personally not a fan, i actually thought i was on one of the "fake / grey import" HK based website for a minute and had to double check the URL.
I liked the menu of clicking straight away on the K3 or K50 and seeing all the bundle options for that specific camera. I'll probably get used to it though.

no one??
when do the usual £50 cashback happen?
thx

hello I need second body, K30 or K50 (or maybe K5 II) - for UK delivery / London collection

thanks for your comment.
I have the tammy 17-50 f2.8 so would use that instead of buying another lens - i never thought about the 24fps, that's a very good point. i actually dont know what setting i am using but i will check.
the focusing isnt so much of an issue because the camera is on a tripod, and i dont move in distance (playing the drums so sat down).
i will have to invest in a good software at some point...

thanks for your advice
my lens is already an old lens (50mm A f1.7), hmm i've already use the black and white trick previously.
i am already adding some extra light (led) but better to capture the real light otherwise it doesn't look as nice.
the 24mm/28mm vivitar arent easy to find nor cheap otherwise i would have gone for it.

hello,
I am using my camera to film these days (some music covers), and it's really dark in the music studio. I've filmed with the K30 with the 50mm f1.7 at 800 ISO and the results are decent. The only problem is the 50mm on APS-C sensor is pretty zoomed in. So I am considering the cheap £20 wide angle adaptor (0.45x).
I don't mind the distortion at all, all i need is a wider angle without spending the £300 to get the 30mm f1.4.
So questions is:
- has one of you tried for video? (guessing it's not great for taking pictures but this is for video only)
- will the light entering the lens be the same? with 1.4x and 2x we lose stops, but with 0.45x will the lens stay a f1.7?
If you have any other techniques for filming in low light? I always see these amazing videos with no noise and haven't been able to get any close, above 800 ISO there is too much noise, maybe people do some post production noise reduction but i currently don't own a good video editing software.
thanks!

hey -
Thanks McBrian for your test/review.
I have just received mine today. I haven't tested it yet (and not sure when i will) but I've just played around (all my colleagues think i'm crazy let's be honest) - here are my "out of the box" impressions:
- it is very compact as expected, which is REALLY great for travelling, fits into my small rucksack
- the legs rotating lock system doesn't seem very good at first look, only time will tell but i am nervous it will stop working after a few trips
- the ball head feels quite cheap, i own another ballhead from 7dayshop which i think i will use
- it doesn't feel that light, i will compare to my other tripods when i get home.

without testing it, but still relevant in my opinion, it still looks like a fair deal at £38, but wouldn't pay more for it (i.e whatever the fake "real" price is supposed to be).

I am hopeful it will be a good compromise as I want a cheap fairly light travel tripod that does expand more than the usual "mini-tripod".
