Look for a MV or MV1, idiot proof and simple. should be around £5-10 body only

If you want to have some control try for a ME, or a P30 for £15-30 body only.

For full control ME Super or P30N/T. the MES cost £30 up the P30s a lot less.

For manual everything and an addiction forming body try for an MX. Anywhere from £40 up.

For an idea as to what they're like see here

Good luck!

Watermark your shots and see what happens.

If they remove the watermark and publish isn't that theft?

Some of us have Zenit cameras.

It might be an idea to create a thread that shows DA lens performance on 35mm. I think we can rule out the 18-55 and the 50-200 as both show significant vignetting.
Erm, see this thread I ran last year re the 18-55!

Samples on second page.

Above 24mm the lens works fine on my P30 bodies.

I always take my camera kit as hand luggage, the airport staff always check it but never complain(I think they just want to see who's using what!)

As for tammy18-200 on K100d Super, I've used a Sigma 18-200 on my K110d, with fantastic results. So I'd say go for it!

Why do you need them, Pentax lenses tend to be the best...

I've just thought about it Hardgravity i put on the 16-45mm but because the zoom is the wrong way round there is a chance of it being at 45mm not 16mm.

I've just tried it again and stops vignetting at about 18mm(what a dipstick i am at times)


Sorry for any confusion
Sounds like it acts the same as the 18-55, you loose about the same percentage in the range but can still use it on a film body.

The 18-55 crops at the corners below 24mm(ish) and we know that's a digital lens.

So the 16-45 must be designed for a full frame!

When will we see a Pentax FF body then?
