Can anyone tell me how this would compare with the new DA 55-300mm?
I am thinking of selling my Tamron 28-300, DA 50-200mm and FA 80-320mm to buy the DA plus a MKII 18-55mm and if I do would the 300mm prime be of much use?
If not then I will just sell it straight on.

thanks.

How about this one.

So I am presuming this one is a waste of time?

I have finally decided on which macro lens to keep and now I can put the rest of them up on Ebay to raise some cash for a 300mm.
There is no way I can stretch to the newer AF lenses at present and to be honest I am quite happy using manual focus anyway.

Was just wondering if anyone has any experience of the Pentax 300mm F4 K mount (or KA at a stretch) as they seem fairly reasonable on Ebay and probably within my budget.

thanks.

Its a pretty good price for the 360GZ as well i would say seeing as I picked one up at the weekend off someone on another forum with a F 50mm 1/7 for £170 delivered.

I think?

Thanks, will take a look.
Wanted the picture as large as possible to show the particles in question.

Got a rocket blower yesterday and gave that a go but its not really for the sensor so not much good, but it did get out a lot of the dust I aquired when fitting a new focus screen from ebay, then promptly putting the old one back

I have managed to bag a Vivitar 1:1 100mm f2/8 macro lens off Ebay for a stupidly low price but getting up close shows all the specks on my sensor.

Shot was hand held with no cropping, I presume all the little bits are dust.

What is the best way to go aboutt cleaning it?

Thanks.

Bought my K10D a couple of months ago after weeks of indecision. I was originally going for a K100D super but after plenty of advice from this forum decided on it's big brother. It is a steep learning curve for a beginner but is so much more enjoyable, especially when you start putting out some decent shots and you know you have done it without the different modes.
As for lens choice I bought just the body and a tamron 24-135mm lens and used that for a few weeks before deciding that my interest was leaning more towards the macro side of photography rather than landscape etc so I have since bought a few lenses off Ebay to play around with in the knowledge that if I do not particularly like one then I will more than likely get my money back the same way.

I am really impressed with the camera, it's a great piece of kit.

yes you are right, they are all a bit over the place at the moment while I decide which I like the best, if any.
