Spent a remarkably sunny midweek break at Center Parcs (Sherwood Forest) and managed to make it to the bird hides

Just a few shots :

Following a dusting of snow on high ground and with a sunny day in prospect I spent the morning at Stanage Edge near Sheffield on Wednesday. What a lovely morning it was, very sunny, blue skies changing to cloud as the day progressed.

Few from the day, all K3 + DA16-85

Don't have a KS2 but I tend to shoot in TaV mode with auto ISO, you should then be able to adjust the settings to get the ISO you want hopefully.

Bought a used lens from WEX last year, better condition than described. Would happily buy from them again.

I don't have one particular favorite as it depends on what I'm shooting.

If it is the lenses that always make me smile when looking at the results then there are a number :

DA* 300 (with and without 1.4 TC)
DA* 50-135
DA 70 Ltd
Sigma 8-16

My most used (Pentax fit) lenses would be

Pentax 16-85 (has now replaced my 17-70 as my general grab and go lens)
Sigma 100-300 F4 (my motorsport go to)

Then lens I would like to get next (could be a long way off) would be the
Pentax 150-450

The lens I am intrigued(would like to try) by but have too many covering this focal length is the DA*200

As I said I don't have a particular favorite.


Regards

George

I recently bought these for my daughters DAL 18-55, work fine. clip on and off the DAL 18-55 no problem. Time will tell if they last but for the price cannot complain.

The 18-55 WR has a different hood fitting so make sure you order correct one if yours is the WR version.
