They are a bargin way of buying into FF, I didnt have much Pentax glass so making the move was not to much of a difficult decision.

I've got the 24-105mm and it's a fantastic lens , Buying Canon glass is expensive though but there are some nice cheap lenses, I've got the 50mm f1.8 on the 5d and for a £90 lens its awesome.

Ha ha didnt know if the c word would offend, Mainly I found the AF system to be to slow especially when tracking, I also wanted something with better high iso performance, Also pentax ont do a FF camera

So I've got a Canon 5D , which to be honest i'm pretty much blown away by.
The main things i've noticed is the AF is alot better, The DOF is shallower when at the same f nunber , Even at iso 3200 noise is pretty much non existant.

Just wanted to say a massive thanks to everyone on here, I must admit I have not contributed a great deal on here but I have learned so much from all you guys.
I love my K10D for many reasons but do have some issues with it and to be honest was really hoping Pentax would be reasing a FF camera soon so I've jumped ship to another brand that I wont mention on here

Anyway thanks to everyone for making this place the best forum out there.

Cheers Paul

I find the 50mm on a crop sensor dslr is a bit long , good for portraits.

I have the sigma 17-70mm f2.8-4.5 and find it a great range for a walk about lens.

I rarely find my self needing anything any wider than 17mm or longer than 70mm, wish it was a bit faster for low light stuff but then it would cost alot more.

Modern zooms are very good , i've been very impressed with both the Pentax 18-55mm wr and the Sigma 17-70mm

I have a Miranda 70-300mm f4.5-5.8 auto aperture.

Good condition the only thing worth noting is the zoom is feeling a bit slack.

Both front and rear caps

Old manual zoom that I never really use so may as well sell it.

Not really a macro (But it is marked as one on the lens) at 200mm the closest focusing is 1 metre to get 1:4 magnification.

Good clean condition with nice bright optics.

Aperture is nice and snappy.

Rear cap included but no front cap.
