I don't think any of the early 18-135's were a problem. While some reviewers were slating it those who bought one sung it's praises. It's quite a wide range zoom so some sacrifices were made which showed up on a test bench but in normal use people don't notice any of them.
Still prefer the 16-85 though as images can be cropped to give a 135 equivalent, but the 18-135 can't be zoomed out to give you 16mm. My Pickering War Weekend photos were all taken with the 16-85.

Thank you both. I must say I've never considered myself as a street photographer. I guess the difference with an event like this is that those dressing up must almost expect to have a camera focussed on them whereas in a normal street scene some might find it intrusive. I'm not really sure why some of the Whitby Goths from a year or two back got so uptight about it, If they don't like it, don't do it in public!

It is a super set, but not sure what you meant by saying "using an actual 35mm lens is beyond a joke." That would give you the normal standard lens equivalent of 50/55mm which most film cameras used to be supplied with. Do you mean 28 (35 equiv) is your own preference as many used to cut their teeth with an 50/55mm on film and there is nothing wrong with a 50mm on the K-1.

Does this help?

My Win 7 had a similar problem over the weekend which the computer detected and uninstalled the last Windows update itself. All OK now. I think the problem is that MS are combining all the little updates into one big one and you can't pick and choose what to install anymore.

Thank you for looking.

Wait all day and two posts come at once!

There's usually a collection of photos here from this event, but apparently not so far!
I'll remedy that with some photos taken at Pickering on Sunday.
All were taken with the K-3 and DA 16-85mm.

There might be a few more to follow.

There is a 'report problem' button at the bottom of the page, not a 'report post' button.
I agree it could do with a 'report post' button adjacent to the 'Quote this post.'

The 'report problem' button actually looks like it refers to site issues rather than to do with individual posts... or is there something else that's not being spotted?

With the original baffle, the lens does still cover the whole full frame frame (hope that makes sense) but removing it reduces the effect of vignetting. Even with the the original APS-C baffle in place FF images can be produced successfully, even at full aperture, though they may need some slight vignetting removal, depending on the subject. Less so with the modified baffle.
If anyone's interested, there is a thread on the USA forum about it:

The 60-250 is a great lens, with or without the modification and definitely useable on full frame which isn't surprising as the lens was originally designed for full frame!
I feel for FF use, getting one with the modification made is possibly worthwhile, but I don't think I would bother making the modification myself, even for use on the K-1


Taken at 250mm at full aperture (f4) on an unmodified 60-250mm. If the lens had been modified I doubt it would have made any difference!

To show the difference, this is a Tamron Adaptall PKA mount (mounted on a Tamron 105mm f2.5)


It does indeed transmit aperture info to the camera.
