I have both. I shoot urban & country side landscapes. The 21 gets used as a standard lens, but the 15 gets used lots also. Buy a used mint/near mint one of either, buy at the right price, if it does not get used, you can then sell without any real loss. I hardly ever buy new lenses. Ffordes have a used 15/4 at the moment for £449. You may find some Pentax bargains at the FOCUS show, I did last year, bought a 21 there.

Ffordes sell used tripods, with a list & photos on the website, and although camera fairs are now harder to find, real tripod bargains show up at them..and there is fleabay of course....also Focus on imaging starts this weekend at the NEC in brum.

Hi chaps,

I may be losing my mind possibly, but before I decided to sell the KPS, I tried it on a K-7. It did not seem to fit. Using the Pentax adaptor, it seemed to sit proud of the eyepiece and the screws to tighten it seemed too short to reach the adaptor plate...

Hi All,

The saga continues. I have now had three 'interested' parties all drop out one after the next. I have tried to be really fair with people and feel very let down.

The K20D is still available, believe it or not...

cheers Steve.

There are currently the following macro lenses:

1. Tamron 60mm f2, but so far only C & N mounts.

2. Zeiss ZK 50mm f2 manual focus, in PKA, superb but very pricey.

3. Bargain of all the new/sh must be the current/recent Tamron 90mm f2.8 AF lens.

and the usual Sigma suspects.

The Urban disguise 40. Small enough for flight hand luggage, big enough for small DSLR kit (in a smaller camera bag inside the Think Tank bag) also room for slim laptop, in flight goodies etc.

Will...nice letter, however how can you, or anyone else explain the huge difference in price between the almost exact same lenses sold by Pentax & by Tokina? The Pentax versions of 16-50 & 50-135 are hugely more than Tokina, who have exactly the same exchange rate issues as Pentax, and presumably are no bigger than Pentax...
