Tamron 28-75 and 50mm 1.8 are sold, waiting for payment.

Decided to sell my Pentax gear as I'll be switching brands (and going full frame). All lenses are in good condition. I've used all for the last couple of years - they're all wonderful copies which, in my opinion, don't have anything wrong with. I tried to take a couple of pics of each, if you want something more specific just let me know.

Prices below are without shipping, please read the footnote on shipping at the bottom of the post. I've tried to price them reasonably well for a (hopefully) fast sale.

HD Pentax-DA 15mm f/4 ED AL Limited - £290
Apart from my 28-75 Tamron I always had this one on me. It's that great & compact. Comes with the original box as well.





Tamron AF 28-75mm f/2.8 (IF) Macro - £175
This is the lens that's on my K5 for probably 90% of the time. Great sharpness even wide open and it's full frame, so it'll work on the K1. I bought this lens with that in mind, but plans have changed. A true bargain for a FF standard zoom if you ask me.





Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 Di LD Macro - £315
Another great Tamron lens that's K1 compatible. Take the combo of this plus the 28-75 and you have a great starting kit for the K1. Comes with the box as well.





SMC Pentax-DA 10-17mm Fisheye f/3.5-4.5 - £230
I loved this lens for its colour rendering and sharpness.





Sigma 70mm f/2.8 DG Macro. £220
My macro lens (1:1) and also my sharpest lens. Also compatible with the K1.





SMC Pentax-DA L 55-300mm f/4.5-5.8 ED - £125
I bought this one from Alex here on the forum, great all-round tele zoom (took some great shots of puffins with it). Even though this is the "L" version, it does have a metal mount, making it basically the same as the non-L version.





SMC Pentax-DA 35mm f/2.4 AL - £85
Wonderful little thing, great sharpness even wide open. Comes with an aftermarket hood and lens cap (as hoods don't come with these). I believe these are K1 compatible when stopped down.





SMC Pentax-DA 50mm f/1.8 AL - £65
Another plastic fantastic, probably one of the sharpest ones I've owned when stopped down. Comes with an aftermarket hood and lens cap (as hoods don't come with these). I believe these are K1 compatible when stopped down. Also comes with the box.





SMC Pentax-DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL WR - £50
Not much to say about this one, just a great kit zoom, weather resistant.





Shipping: I'm located in Belgium - shipping up to 350g is £9, between 350g & 1kg is £13 and up to 2kg is £17. However - I didn't include shipping in the asking price as it is worth nothing I'll be in England (around Northampton) for people who are interested in collecting in-person from Sep 24th until the 29th. Central London is also possible on the 30th. Anywhere along the M20 down to Dover is also possible on October 1st.

Until recently I wasn't really interested in the new K1 - I've been shooting with my K5 for the past 4 years and even though it has its limitations, it's one of the only DSLRs I've ever used and I can't say I think it's a bad camera. However, the idea of going semi-pro (weddings in particular) has been going through my mind a lot recently. Keeping this in mind and seeing as my two most used lenses - Tamron 28-75 2.8 and 70-200 2.8 - would make an ideal FF starting kit I've started to read quite a lot about the K1 in recent weeks.

The one gripe I keep reading about in reviews is "inferior" AF speed - especially when compared to more commonly pro-used cameras like the 5D mark iii. I'm not into anything fast-moving (sports, birding) at all, but a good AF in low light is essential - something my K5 doesn't have either. So my question to the K1 users who've had the opportunity to shoot with other brands as well is: how bad (or good) is it? Is the K1 a valid alternative to shoot weddings?

Thanks Mike and Ronnie. The one under the bridge arch is my favourite as well - I think I will finally take the step and actually do a print of that one to hang in the living room somewhere. I absolutely love these kind of dramatic black & whites, they add so much depth and ambiance. If only there was a demand for this style.

Thanks. The high contrast was indeed the look I was going for, I like it a lot for cityscapes and B&W.

Hello all,

As you all know, it's the Euros right now in France. I've always hated football so on Saturday, when Belgium was playing and the streets were quiet, I went out and shot my home city - something I'd never really done before. Because of the unfavourable weather conditions (it is Belgium in June after all) I decided to make a B&W set. Here are 20 of my favourites - all shot with my K5, most of them with the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8.

As you can see this is my first gallery, would love to hear your input & advice - good or bad. I just want to learn as much as I can.

Edit: can someone please tell me how to properly post a link on here? If I click the Link button and enter the url it just shows the code but doesn't make the url clickable.

I can second this. We took the RHIB to the Isle of May at the end of June last year - great experience, just be careful of birds going for your head when you walk too close to their nests, which are often on the designed paths. Watching the puffins fly back & forth to go fishing was amazing, as depending on where you stand they only fly a few feet above your head.
