I have more or less made my mind up that my next lens will be a 100mm Macro, but looking at the considerable price difference between the two, I was wondering what the difference between the two could be. They look remarkably similar.

I have heard rumours that the coating on Samsung lenses is not as good as the Pentax equivalent.

Does anyone know if the material quality etc. Is similar?

The DA*300 is capable of much higher image quality. It really is a top lens. I am surprised that you could find one for hire - I didn't think anyone rented out Pentax lenses. Maybe it is a little tired.

IMHO the DA*50-135 is one of the best lenses Pentax make.

This is a very timely thread as a macro is next on my list.

Mr L has succinctly explained the advantages of the longer macro lenses, but what do the shorter ones have going for them (other than size and price)?

Strewth!!

I have to say that I tend to skim through a lot of threads and only read the ones relevant to me, and I have missed most of this furore.

Very sad to loose you Gwyn

I do not think the aperture would make a lot of difference Mike. The ISO might make a tiny difference. As to the speed - it's a law of diminishing returns. If you half the speed I doubt you will get twice as sharp an image.

Now to the bit that really defeats me.

The top aircraft photographers are using exposures in the order of 1/100 seconds to get real prop blur, and still producing crystal clear images of airframes.

One thought on this thread - we should have an "Honorary members" Category. Feebs and Leytono have contributed to the forum and it would be a shame to loose them over a badge issue.

Also, stick with the old uploader and avoid the bulk uploader.
