Mat W and Kris
Thanks for the explanation, i think i get it.
Its been such a long time since i used a 300mm on 35 mm film camera the images look smaller than i remember but mybe a lot of things are like that as you get older.

Hello all
Why when reviewing a lens,do they state a 300mm, say on a k-r is equal to 450mm on a full frame camera.
Does this mean if i go out with my made up friend who has a pentax full frame camera? and i have my k-r with a 300mm lens and we take the same shot at the same distance, does he need a 450mm to take the same size image. As the sensor on a full frame is about 2.3 times larger than on the k-r i would of thought he would only need a 130mm to capture an image of the same size, or am i missing something.
Cheers

Thanks all
I will stick with the K-R and learn how to use it better, and go for the DA* 300.
I just have to pick up the nerve to pay for one, one voice tells me to keep it under the bed, the other tells me to buy, you cant take it with you when your dead and at 67 you could go anytime.

That's easy. Now I have the K5 I wouldn't go back to the KR with any lens. The 55 - 300 DA is a lovely lens and works much better with the K5. I'd love a big prime telephoto too but my world isn't like that!
I'm happy with the Sigma 10 - 20 F4 - 5.6(very cheap now if you're looking) so have no need for the Tamron which I've read is excellent though.

Hi all
If you had the choice between the K-r & da* 300 and the K-5 % 55-300,
which would you go for.
When i was buying Hi-Fi the saying went rubbish in rubbish out so you spent 70% on the deck 20% on the amp and only 10% on the speakers..
So which combo would produce the best images for motorsport/wildlife etc.
I think i know your reply, but i could be wrong(it would not be the first time)
One other point has any body tried the Tamron 10-20mm f/4-5.6 ex dcj,
Pentax forum appears to rate it for the money.
Cheers

OOPS should read f/3.5-4.5 for the tamron.Hi all

I cannot answer the poll as none of the answers fit.
The problem is that Pentax have a mountain to climb to compete with Canon/Nikon. Minolta are effectively out of the game and Sony were never in it!
All the new cameras in the world won't make a difference* but new glass will. Pentax need to come out with a few very serious lenses, on which they will lose a lot of money. But without great glass they will never tempt a lot of people (myself included) back.
But... If the glass comes and it is good (and cheaper than Nikon) and the AF is improved then yes, one day I might return to the fold. Who knows?
