I am still waiting for delivery of my Sigma 180mm macro, should be any day i suspect and that will give me one of each brand.

That's just plain greedy

Comment by Mike-P posted on Macro Lens (and Tamron 1.4X Teleconverter) at 30/04/2008 - 22:26

I am looking for advice on a decent macro lens.
Should I be looking at the Tamron 90mm, Sigma 105mm or the Pentax 100mm?
Or is there a better alternative (not tubes as I really want it for close up out and about).

Also, I have a Tamron 1.4X teleconverter, how would this work (if at all) with a macro lens.

Thanks.

Does anyone know if it comes with the MKI or the MKII version of the 18-55mm?

Thanks.

May be interested in the 50mm if you are willing to split.

First one to get a sense of scale

Then cropped

Took off with a load buzzing sound like a model aircraft.
Most weird it was.

I got one off a member here for £25 del .. just because I bought the body only and thought that when I eventually come to upgrade the camera would sell better with a branded Pentax lens.

Plus all the other camera gear you have sold (or not) in the last month.
That's a lot of good (uninformed) friends you have there....

As far as I can figure out, any revision number that start with an 8.x seems to be a camera that was sent for repair. I couldn't find a new camera with model revision 8.x, only cameras that came back from service.

My K10D came from the forum that you read this from (I think) and in the box was a certificate from Pentax to say it had just been in to cure the back focus issue and get a service while still under warranty.
This would seem to back up your theory although I have nothing to compare it to photo wise.

Thought £250 delivered from the USA for a mint boxed body was too good a deal to give up and the seller was as good as his word.

Mine doesnt give a manufacture date but the model revision is 8.0.

For a K10D? Where do you get that info from?

Are you opening a RAW file with PhotoME?

Yes, took a quick shot and opened it up with PhotoME.
Firmware 3.0 & Model Revision 8.0
