Hello - Does anyone know if there's a neck strap for Pentax that lets the camera lens point downwards?

I do a lot of walking around with the camera (k20d) under my coat, but the way the strap is designed it always wants to point it forward, which is a bit of a pain with the longer lenses.

Thanks for this. I gave that chart a go, then I tried this one -

and found it was front focussing a bit. I've adjusted it with the custom setting.

I'll try some like for like shots with it against the 18-55.

Yes I might aswell. I was curious about anyone elses exeperiences with something like this. That said, I've only read good about SRS.

This forum must be sick of 16-50 angst!

The lens I bought before last (DA 55-300) is fantastic and so is my other Pentax kit.

I recently bought a 16-50 from SRS. I was well aware of the patchy reputation of the lens but thought it was worth a chance.

I've used it a few times and the results are by and large dissapointing. There's nothing seriously wrong, but shots at various settings often appear slightly out of focus, and there's a general lack of contrast.

Basically, if I had the choice again I would buy something else. Where would I stand if I took the lens back and tried to exchange it? I'd rather not have another copy after this experience.

If it was a less expensive lens I'd probably let it go, but this is one I had wanted to get a lot of use from.
