To be honest I dont own a flash at the minute, Ive only just started using dslr and I'm building bits and bobs up slowly.
Have you got a link to the one you have for swaps at all?

I have a load of stuff left over from when i used a film slr just sitting around. I would swap one or more items for anything really, big or small. It seems a shame for it to sat in a bag doing nothing.



Crumpler bens pizza xl photobag

Converse 5mp digital camera (boxed)

Pentax Af160 flash unit x2

Nikon teleplus 2x converter with case

Helios 2x converter with case (m42)

Tamron adaptall 2 2x converter

Centon 500mm f8 mirror lens (m42)

Photax paragon 135mm 2.8 lens (m42)

Cokin filter older with 55mm ring

I would prefer local swaps.

The front of the lens states 1:2 and the first f number is 2. Thought it was too good to be true.

I'm a little confused, mine says 1.2 on the front and the one in the link says 1:2.1. Is there two versions of this lens? thanks in advance

I have a A 50mm 1.2 mf lens that I dont use very much, I tend to use the 1.7 version more for some reason. Does anyone know how much the 1.2 sells for? Thanks in advance

I bought a lowepro passportsling a few weeks back, has a compartment for camera and an extending area for purse, phone keys etc. I cam fit my k200 with 35mm lens attached and a spare lens.

Truth is, it's the only prime on your list that I have. Nice to see that Pentax are developing it's big sister; the 50mm f1.8. These are a good way to introduce primes to amateurs on a small budget.

For a walkabout lens, the 18-135mm is on my wish list.
Does anyone know when the DA 50mm 1.8 will be available? I use the A 50mm 1.7 and AF would be handy at times
