Couldn't agree more! Why not stay? No one's going to run you out of town for expressing perfectly reasonable views

Hey there are some hideously derivative portraits out there too, man! To wit, colour popped irises.

Hello, yes definitely. The camera its maybe worth 20-30 quid. The 50mm is worth 50-60. The Vivitar - depends on the lens, you don't give a lot of information.

Yes that's it! When it was introduced it was over £500.

I'm glad to see you can now buy unboxed copies for a bit less.

There is no specific section of this forum for video queries (despite the idea being suggested by users).... you could just post your question into our 'General Photography Chat' section.

I think the problem most buyers need to overcome is the cost vs performance. The blurry edges are visible in the image samples as well as the graph results. If the need for WR and a wide focal range in a small size over-rides all else, the lens does make sense. But we're right to expect better than 'good enough for uncritical use' from Pentax, especially in an expensive lens.

Is the camera asking you to input the focal length when you mount the old lenses?

If the lens was fairly cheap, I'd probably agree. But personally I don't want to spend that sort of money on a lens which is just about good enough for an 8x10 print. May as well get a superzoom compact

Thanks for that, I'll check it out.

Some images of my new toys:

Thanks Brian. If I avoid the foam kits on ebay and use wool instead, do you have a recommendation for what to use for the mirror bump? (This is for my MX actually - the mirror bump on the Super A looks perfect!)
