Thanks.
I couldn't think of a title that would explain the photo

I have seen some cracking macro shots taken with the Raynox 250, it looks a worthwhile investment if you dont want the expense of a "proper" macro lens.

Who amongst us would buy a possible GX30 if the K30 was the same price, no we either go cheap and pay less for a lesser DSLR name, even though they're the same camera!

Pentax on the front puts added value on the price.
But then again who amongst us would buy a GX30 if there was no likelyhood of a K30D becoming available?

I have no problem with Pentax staying Pentax or becoming part of Samsung .. as long as the K mount carries on as a DSLR mount.

Nice set, really like number 8 but have to agree that the sharpening is a little harsh.
And that comes from someone who usually oversharpens their own pics

Im not saying how much I am paying until it's a done deal.
I hate to tempt fate.

Good pickup Mike, Are you planning on keeping it or selling it on. :

Not sure yet as it's a cracking little lens, a lot smaller than I thought it would be. I already have the 72B version which is a proper 1:1 f2.8 but I like the thought of a small 90mm 1:2 quality prime.
Will have a play over the weekend and then decide.
Fancy a trade with your 1.7x TC then?

Quick snap with it this afternoon before it started raining.

Loskeran has the 150-500mm and seems pretty pleased with it, I am hopefully picking up a used 50-500mm next weekend so will be able to say more about it then.
For all your Pentax shopping try SRS, mention you are a member of the forum and give your username for free UK postage.

I did read somewhere a 28mm is the best length for reversing when doing macro?
