MMmmmmm,
Maybe i shouldnt panic until i have time to do some more extensive testing. Have to say i am impressed with the quality of the shots from the lens, very sharp and nice contrast.
Thanks for the help so-far, will post again after further testing.

Welcome to the forum.
The lens has nothing to do with the shutterspeed all the mechanics and option/functions are in the camera body non are routed through the lens.
You can even set the shutterspeed without a lens attach for example.
here is some info we need.
What shooting mode and what was the shutterspeed, was it on a stable tripod, did light conditions changed (cloud moving before the sun?).

As i said i have only just bought this lens and was just firing off a few test shots in the back garden. It was handheld in aperture priority mode. I was focusing on the fence and through the viewfinder with the button half pressed so it has a focus lock. The viewfinder was saying the shutter speed was 1/90 but if i came away from the viewfinder without letting go of anything and checked the lcd it was saying 1/250.
I changed apertures and focul lengths and had similar results with the LCD being around twice as fast.

Hi,
I have just bought a 50-135 DA* and have noticed that the SS is reporting deiiferent on the LCD to the viewfinder. Have never notived this with any other lens, and as the 50-135 was second hand i am worried there could be fault?
To expand a little more, once focus has been achieved the LCD shows a shutter speed generally twice that shown in the viewfinder.
HELP !

Hi,
I would be very interested if you will accept £500. I have seen similar lenses selling for 450 on other sites.

Can you clarify something for me. I am looking to upgrade to the K7 soon from K10d.
The K7 still saves raw in DNG format right, this is important to me and was the major factor in choosing Pentax over the lesser brands like Nikon and Canon whne i bought my K10d. It saves alot of time and faffing with converters and the like when your raw files can be opened straight into PS.
cheers.
