My istDS may be up for grabs in a month or two when I finally jump on the K5 wagon, but that may be too long for you....

I'm still shooting with an *istDS - Pentax's 2nd DSLR, and not weather sealed.

I've used it in the rain without a problem - OK I make sure I keep it under my coat when not shooting, but using it to take some pics in the rain then popping it away again hasn't seemed to stop anything working.

Thanks for the comments.

Only did a tiny bit of sharpening on the resized versions, but just checked the DS menu and the sharpness is set to +1 so maybe it's that it. Could also be a side effect of the lavendar being backlit, maybe?

Thought I'd have a go with the new to me Samsung/Pentax (Samtax?) 100mm/2.8 macro I recently picked up in the classified. Camera is my venerable *istDS.

Should have takern more care on the background for the courgette as it's a bit cluttered.

I'm interested - can you PM me to start off a conversation - I'm too new a member to be able to initiate a PM.

Thanks

There's a Pentax 100mm macro in the classifieds at the moment. I have just received the Samsung equivalent, and from my limited tests so far, it's a nice lens.

Yes, I should say that the 100mm macro arrived yesterday too - fantastically packaged and in great condition. Many thanks!

Interested in the 80-300. Can't PM I'm afraid as I'm a bit of a newbie. Could yopu PM me so we can discuss?

I'm interested in the Schneider-Kreuznach 100mm MACRO f/2.8 -
don't think I can PM you as yet as I've only been on for a couple of weeks.

The Currys kit is for the 50-200 rather than 300, sadly.
