Following very helpful advice from the forum I purchased a Pentax SMC A 50mm f1.7. I also bought a Sigma 90mm f2.8 macro. Having tried out both lenses at home I am noticing that the camera focusing aid green hexagon does not always show up and it is difficult to get the focus just right. My camera is a K100D Super with it's original software. Am I doing something wrong. When the focus is right the pictures are lovely and sharp.

This is my 4th attempt to say hello. Thanks for all assistance so far. Been visiting the site over the past year and finally decided to sign up.

Dear all, thank you for your responses. On price front cost could be a limiting factor so would look at the cheaper options.
