Well I bit the bullet and ordered it last week and it arrived on Friday.

[quote:3496ace15f="lemmy"]It is very usable at f1.4 though you need to be very careful over your focussing accuracy! By f2 it is as sharp as you'd need and at f2.8 truly excellent.

From my initial play with it I see what you mean when using it wide open as the DOF is so shallow. My initial thoughts are very positive, I'm going away for a few days so will take this one with me and hopefully get some shots to post.

This looks quite an interesting lens and I was wondering if anyone on the forum has it, what your thoughts were etc.

Of the few reviews I've found they're generally very positive, with some nice pictures to back it up.

Any comments appreciated.

I have a brand new unused Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 and Premier Elements 9.

This came with my K5 from SRS and I already have Elements 9 so is not needed by me.

Comes in DVD case(mini box) with Windows and Mac disks. Having a quick search on the net, together they are between £80-£100 new. Elements 9 on its own £53 at amazon.

Looking for £40 delivered(UK). Item sent upon clearence of funds.

I have a 67mm one and it is stiffer than my Hoya CPL filters. You have to be careful not to unscrew the filter if you turn it anti-clockwise.

My Hoya CPL's are a lot smoother, I have a Kood one which is quite stiff but not as stiff as the Kenko one.

This thought had crossed my mind, some shops don't even sell it anymore and its not listed on the SRS site.

Seems a natural progression really, the K5 to my mind is what the K7 should have been, despite owning and loving my K7 the low light abilities do frustrate me.

Looks like the lens hood is restricting the on board flash and causing a shadow. (presuming the cameras flash was used)
