Cool thx for that. A few years ago I bought a M 50mm but it didnt work on my film SLR, so went back to the shop and bought an A 50mm instead. For that reason I assumed M wouldn't work on my DSLR - I sold my A F2 50mm 2 years ago but after reading a few comments about how great these lenses are I kind of want to give it another try (never used it on my DSLR).

Does the F1.4 F1.7 F2 difference justify the price difference? If I recall most of the time when being outside on a sunny day I couldnt use the F2 as the camera would need to shoot at 1/50,000s or so and think the max was like 1/30,000s... does that make sense?

what's the difference on DSLR? (k100D)?
thx

the pentax is really good, but 45 is too short for me! i want to be able to take portraits! even if it means the quality might not be as good.

I was using a sigma 17-35mm up to now (or a month ago) and now i wish i had kept it, the pics I took with it are simply gorgeous. Not sure how the 17-70mm compares to it but if it's in the same range then I am definitely up for it!!

anyway 16-45mm seem to sell for around £170 and sigma 17-70mm seem to sell at the same price (the 4.5 version)

anyone??

or swap for my 16-45mm

either version
thanks

Hello,

I'm selling my K100D + kit lens + sandisk 1Gb ultra speed SD card + UV filter + CPL.

Not sure there's a way to check how many shots I've taken with it but I reckon it's around 2,000. I haven't really used the kit lens as had bought a 17-35mm from day 1 leaving the kit lens in the bag! I have only used it recently as bought a fisheye adaptor which is fun!(can sell it too as won't fit my new lens)

I have certificate of authenticity and manuals but lost the boxes when I moved flat (will double check though). Comes complete with caps, hood and strap.

I can send pics if you give me your email address, ideally would look at £200. I live in London if anyone fancy having a look. Would prefer cash on collection but would accept bank transfer.

Offers welcome. I also have a spare bag (well padded shoulder bag can fit dslr + a few lenses + flash...)

I am selling cause buying a Kx

Thanks

anyone?

thx for that.
will have a proper look at the article. It just seems a bit tricky to compare a £80 filter with a £6.75 filter!
I bought a basic Hoya CPL filter a few years back and it broke after probably 3 days of use, I am guessing this wouldnt happen with the higher range though. It's the same dilemma I have with the fish eye, got an fish eye adaptor (gadget) for $30, now looking to buy a proper one but it £300 - for the occasional photographer that I am not sure it's really worth it!
