Does anyone know what tilt and shift lenses Pentax have ever manufactured that will work with K5's and K7.

I appreciate that they won't be autofocus but all other info would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I've used Pentax K5's for about a 150 weddings now.
No problems so far.

Lighting not a problem, I plan on doing lots of studio work at first, so I will utilise my Bowens kit
(2xGemini 500 heads and so much paraphenalia it's an embarrassment)
Are there any auto extension tubes on the market for Pentax?

I'm just starting to get really interested in Macro Photography after over 40 years of using a camera.

I have a Pentax 100mm macro lens but was wondering what I should be considering as a nest purchase.

I would like to get in closer than I can with the 100mm, so the thought of extension tubes or bellows
came up!

Any suggestions, I'm currently using K5 and K7 bodies.

Thanks

As per above I winnow out all the dross, then store the RAW files on external hard drives 3x 2TB. Images that I post process are then stored
in seperate folders according to size.
I/we sell prints at four different sizes so each image is stored in a folder dedicated to that size.
Fairly complex and definitely memory hungry but for us the advantage in being able to call up an image of 20" x 16" and print it straight away is
of paramount importance. Time saved equals more time out earning an income.

Well being a resident of Skye I would have to go with Skye being the best place.
But quite honestly I am awestruck wherever I travel in Scotland, outside of the city centres.
Nothing wrong with city centres, I was born and raised in Whitechapel but I just hate cities.

Good evening one and all,

Has anybody tried the above combination?
I am about to purchase either the 300mm DA* or the 200mm DA* with at least one of the converters if I go for the 200mm DA*.
It all comes down to size weight. I have a number of overseas trips coming up and I feel the need to invest in some serious glass.
Any help, thoughts or opinions greatly appreciated.
