Generally, I only use two zooms, and it's one of them. I bought mine as part of a bundle, too. They quite often come with SFX bodies.Quote:
the F 70-210, which itself is an excellent lens.
I have my eye on one these at the moment on E-bay, it has a day to run with no bids and is bundled with a bunch of other junk. Its sitting on 30bucks and would be a bargain if i can grab it. the F 70-210, which itself is an excellent lens.

Where did you get the impression that this lens is a macro? I have never seen that suggested before. The max magnification is .25, so a macro it aint.
It has a fixed max aperture - f4 - at all focal lengths.
Many people consider this lens to be as good as, or even better than, the F 70-210, which itself is an excellent lens.
So if it's in good nick, it's a good buy. But it's not a macro.
Boz's site has the specs.

This is Pentax's latest flashgun. It is low-powered, and the head is fixed.

It's really only for those who wish the RTF was a bit more powerful.

Pete i enjoyed your gallery, Not so much the wedding photography (not my thing i guess, but some nice shots nonetheless) But i did enjoy your family and Landscape shots. Some nice contenders for this weeks comp in there
Like George i leave my speakers off by default, So the music doesn't bother me.
Chris you were saying you didn't like the way the pics faded in and out during the slide show I just kept clicking the NEXT button and Machine gunned right through them
