Sounds like it's hardly worth selling at such a low price. I'd sell the lens separately (show it mounted on your DSLR!)

£50? I would pay £50 to get out of simply having to attend a wedding.

You got in there before I went back to edit my comment! Well I presume if you are grabbing a shot with a very long lens, it is useful to know you can up the iso.

Smaller apertures with faster shutter speeds is useful. Interesting experiment. I think I would limit myself to 800 on my camera though.

Welcome to Pentaxuser, by the way, Rod!

I shot almost exclusively with primes last year (17, 24, 50 and 135), and a Pentax-a 80-200mm which is suprisingly good. But despite my love of primes, i'm not regretting purchasing a da16-45mm. There are many times when I only want to take one lens, or can't decide which primes to take, and while not perfect, images with this lens are definitely a shade better than the kit lens!

Oooh, and Pentax to be bought by JVC (juh-vuh-kuh)... Should be interesting for new developments in 'huhd' video.

(Hoya denies rumour).

Probably cos that's the lenses max aperture - if its a zoom it may have a variable max aperture. This might be 3.5 at the wide end and 4.5 zoomed in. Or it could be a constant f4 lens. What does it say on the lens!

The best way of getting a feel for this is to pick up a film camera with an optical dof preview, and a lens with an aperture ring. Turn the aperture ring with the dof preview lever turned. You will see that the viewfinder image gets more in focus as the aperture gets smaller. It also gets a lot darker, therefore needing a longer exposure time.

Ditto Mike i'm afraid, nice spot of light though, and sharp.
