Great lens - in many ways

Hi,
If you look on page 10 of the Flash Manual you will see that the "TUBE" is in fact a macro adaptor for the DFA Macro lens.

The other rings can be used as per any other flash - to fit the unit to a particular size lens filter ring - in this case 49mm 52mm 58mm and 67mm.

Hope this helps

The DA* I bought from Amin and has not been used other than to test it in the garden, to make sure all was ok with it. Yes much lighter, v.quiet focus action is v.noticeable too after my FA* lenses. Of course the water resistant and dust proof nature of the lens will be good too. Not sure if I will take it with me to Kenya though as 300mm is a little too long for many shots - so hence the 60-250 purchase (Also dust and water resistant) important in a hot dusty and sometimes wet environment...

Thank you for the kind comments. To make a direct comparison with the 300 and the 60-250, I will have to wait until May when I go back to the Masia Mara and shoot some more wildlife!
I have not yet use the zoom for any "serious" stuff as the opportunity just hasn't been there.

Hi Stefan
This photo was taken with the F*300 also - the background is not too far away in this one - if I get your point about being far away in the first shot?

I also like the results from the FA 100/2.8 Macro:

One of my favourites is the Pentax F* 300/4.5 ED [IF]

Thanks for the pointer Dan. I have also been looking around for the camo neoprene that is used for lens protection, with a view to making my own. This also seems hard to find - well impossible at the moment. I want to protect the investment in my FA* 600f4 and a neoprene cover would be ideal...

I dropped and email to Lens Coat asking about their products for Pentax lenses. This was their reply...containing a link to the other lenses they do covers for - Besides CanNik


Thank for your interest in our products. The only problem with covers for Pentax lenses is demand. You are maybe the 3rd person to ever ask about them. We make custom covers and that’s how most of the other lenses started out

Does anyone know of any companies that produce products for Pentax Lenses??

Every year people have to be rescued from the mud - Despite signs to the contrary there are still people who ignore the risks. With small children that is just irresponsible!
