Comment by bychan posted on Help with choosing between DA*16-50/2.8 vs. Tamron 17-50/2.8 at 14/05/2011 - 22:42
Later in the year I had hoped to buy the DFA 100 macro. Unfortunately, I think this lens has become rather scarce as it has been discontinued. I do not wish to pay the extra for the WR.
So, is it sensible to just wait for a used DFA 100 to turn up to buy or bid for, or are there any alternatives which would do the job just as well, such as the Tamron 90 or Sigma 105, or even another Pentax lens?
I'm sure there are enough of you with plenty of experience who can help me.
Cheers,
darkskies
Hopefully something will turn-up for you.

According to DXO the KX sensor beats that of the K7 (including DR)

If video is not needed, perhaps a K20D would do just as well (and keep the Kx)?
For info I've also considered a K7, but see myself missing the better ISO and DR performance of the KX.

I also use a Kx and have it setup to shoot DNG RAW+ JPEG; yes this takes more space on the card, but you also get the best of both worlds.
SD cards are so cheap nowadays (£65 I paid for my smallest capacity, 256MB, and £6 for a 8GB ), so RAW+ JPEG shouldn't be a problem in that respect.
Chances are that you wouldn't want to upload all the RAW images taken, whilst you could browse the JPGS's and decide on which ones you'd like to work on. A win-win situation.

This is their response when I queried the 5 year warranty
"We registered the item with Tamron under our company name, which Tamron will carry out the first part of manufacturer's warranty and we will provide the extended warranty upto 5 years."

After initially receiving no interest, expressed interest was received from both the UK and abroad, with the eventual sale taking place literally in our back yards
Regards, and thanks to all who expressed an interest.

I've read mixed reviews, whilst they offer a great price for the Tamron 90mm macro through e-bay link
HOWEVER they quote a 5 year warranty, whilst Tamron lists the super dealers in the UK who offer this, and surprise these guys aren't there..
I've e-mailed them for clarification.
Is it safer to spend the extra £55 to purchase from a reputable dealer, such as SRS?
Thanks
