Hi John, sorry to here it, I too started with a Pentax MX back in 1979 and have remained with Pentax ever since, currently using a K20D. I'm fortunate in having most of what I need and would like to have lens wise but must admit the lack of some products in Pentax fit is disappointing to say the least. I thought this may have changed with the release of the K5 but there's no sign of it just yet. Have you considered using a rear converter with a 90-100mm macro lens as an alternative? Just a thought, but if your mind is set on change then I wish you every luck with your chosen new system.

Looking to trade my DA-15mm Ltd for a Sigma 8-16mm F4.5-5.6. DA-15/4 Ltd, boxed with both caps and pouch, very slight silvering to knurled edge of front lens cap otherwise pristine condition, pictures on request.

Regards,

John

I keep debating whether to switch to Nikon or not, but I think I'll see what the next Pentax offering is like first. Can't be more than 12 months away now.

The current listed price at SRS:

Same here it would find itself alongside the DA 17-70 when travelling light. I can see one problem though, my primes would get less use

John

Nice set but I find the dark triangle above the star wars fans head very distracting, looks like a wizzards hat

Hi Ron, wecome.

No need to shout, opinions will vary vastly and it depends what you want it for.

We could do with a Tamron AF 70-300mm VC USD in Pentax mount:

I started a poll but interest seems limited:
