I don't believe this is P-TTL compliant unfortunately
It appears it is for a Sigma camera S-TTL but they are saying it will work with a Pentax :
Not really sure about this but will look into it further.

Very true. I think once I had the 50-135 though I'd want something longer such as the DA*300. A Macro lens would also be nice but luckily we have one.Quote:
I love my DA*16-50, although as soon as I got it I wished I had the 50-135 as well.
I can 2nd that, in fact, those 2 lenses on their own could be all you ever need! The only disadvantage is, with 2 of us, we could sometimes do with 2 of them!I love my DA*16-50, although as soon as I got it I wished I had the 50-135 as well.

Now when is that DA*60-250 hitting the shelves

I know they're highly rated here anyway, but I have to acknowledge the service from SRS. They sent me out a replacement Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 before they'd even received the (front focussing) faulty one back, despite the fact that they don't know me from Adam - doubt many places would do that.

Fine company with good knowledgable people, they helped me out when i was in a bind and i live Australia. Can't ask for more than that.

Thanks Chris.

I would be interested to know the answer as well as I am maybe after the Sigma 180mm macro and it seems a fair bit cheaper on Ebay (when they are available).
Most of the lenses on these HK based companies are a lot cheaper than what i can get them for in Aust. But i found the Sigma 180mm was about the same price here as it was in HK. AU$1030I would be interested to know the answer as well as I am maybe after the Sigma 180mm macro and it seems a fair bit cheaper on Ebay (when they are available).
So i bought it locally.

Apart from customs, the downside to this is if you need to return the lens. If you can send it to Pentax UK then OK. But if you need to return it to Hong Kong it is more of a pain.
I still like to buy from a traditional shop, even though invariably this means more cost. My K10 broke on me with a week left to run on the warranty. I was happy then to just return it to the shop who took care of sending it to Pentax and getting it back to me.
I echo Peter's sentiments, In Australia the warranties are not honoured and you will have to send it back to HK. Apart from customs, the downside to this is if you need to return the lens. If you can send it to Pentax UK then OK. But if you need to return it to Hong Kong it is more of a pain.

Also you will have to pay Vat to get it into the UK, not sure how much that is but i believe its substantial.
I have used these HK based stores for most of my accessories and other bits and bobs without any problems.
Oh I did buy my Tamron 18-250 from one of them but i can't remember who it was.
Do your homework before you buy is my recommendation.
