thanks !
but it's a second second hand. Strange in 3 months, no ?
Not really, both owners bought a Pentax DA* 60-250mm instead.
Slightly different price range.

If the K30 is actually better than the K-7 in ways that I would like (I think an articulated screen for liveview would be fantastic for macro) then I will have no hesitation in buying one instead of the Pentax ... as long as it uses K-Mount of course.

So yes (although I will vote ummm because it made me laugh).

I think the 60-250mm is fine for outdoor portraits Amin but it would struggle indoors without a flash.
I have been playing with my Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 on my K10D and this was taken at f2.8 iso 400 .. the 60-250mm just couldn't cut it as it was starting to get a bit dark. Would probably be better with a K20D and it's higher ISO capability though.
I think I will probably order the 50-135mm tomorrow.

This has got to be a wind up, surely? Built-in GPS and WiFi?

Somebody is having a laugh I think.
Mobile phones have gps and wi-fi so it must be useful

Its an interesting rumour though, maybe Samsung have decided its time to take over Pentax now they have the K-mount and the obvious way would be to get all Pentax users switching and watching Hoya shut the brand.

Samsung would have all those Pentax users to themselves then.

Now heres an interesting quandry ... a K-7 but with added extras.

- faster at 6fps
- built in GPS and Wi-Fi
- 3.0 AMOLED tilt and swivel screen
- double SD slots

If the Samsung is cheaper .. or even the same, which would you chooses if the rumour is correct.

I told a lie, pin has not been disabled (did it to my 24mm version) but is easily done. Few pics for here before I cart it off to Ebay.

So whats happening with the 50-135mm, are you still selling and reducing the price or shall I buy new elsewhere?

Cheers.

As title, manual focus PK/A mount with the Ricoh pin which has been disabled. Front and rear caps (not original) .. in excellent condition.

£35 delivered ... can do pics of the lens if anyone is interested.
