Chinon lenses as a whole are generally underrated. They are reasonable performers and I rate them highly on a bang for buck score. My little Chinon 50 f1.9 delivers bokeh that is very reminisant of a K55 f/1.8. They are really coarse though with regards their focussing rings, it just feels nasty after you have experienced a Super Takumar or Pentax K lens.
The undisputed aspect of the Pentax 50 f/1.4 might also be argued a little, I have a serious heavyweight here that would quite happily enter a ring with any 50 f/1.4

You can get the M-OE53 from most Pentax Pro stockists like SRS in the UK. I use one on my K-5 to help handle some older MF lenses. Be aware that there is a tiny bit of vignetting in the extreme corners, I find it is the upper left and upper right but it may be different for others. I barely notice it now.

I believe the O-ME53 fits all Pentax Dslrs, it is really easy to fit, pull the eyecup up and off and replace with the magnified version, less than 2 min job.

Think I am reaching Amateur level. I love taking pictures but sometimes I enjoy whole tactile thing of going out with the camera and a nice lens more. I believe the K-5 will actually punish me for lack of technique and i'm looking forward to that in a perverse way , it will help me along the road a bit more.

RAW, its the digital negative! I have only used JPEG on one exception and that was 2 weeks ago when my main PC went belly up and I needed to put up some shots of some gear I was selling. I use Lightroom 3.2 and am also looking at the Topaz addons.

My apologies John.
Should be here Monday

Got my despatch message
Only the weekend to wait.

I wanted one now as well but SRS are out of stock! This is the 4th or 5th batch they've been through.
Patience Robbie, patience...

My mistake. Put it down as the FA24 f2.8. As an indicator for the FA* 24 f/2, Ffordes have a couple, 1 @ £449 and another @ £649

Stuart has received his K20D, Grip and JinFinance screen safe and sound. DA16-45 still available to a good home

FA24 - £275 - Conservative price
FA35 - £250 - People are snapping these up
FA50 - £175ish
FA200 - £600ish
Don't really know about the converter. The FA24 might get more because it is fairly rare.

Nice set of lenses. You should really hook them up to a K-5
