I thought the green rings on the lens barrel was being replaced with red ones. On the 2 lenses just released they are back to green.

I wondered if Ricoh/Pentax have changed there mind or is there some new methodology .

Any ideas

I think setting the aperture on the lens, in other words stopping the lens down would reduce the brightness in the viewfinder and may cause the phase detect AF not to operate at smaller apertures.

On the other hand it would eliminate any focus shift as AF would be at the aperature being shot at.

This is the one I am most pleased with.

I went out specially to get it not knowing exactly where the waterfall was.

I used video a couple of times on my K-R a few years back. When I changed to a K5 I tested it to make sure it works but on my K3 I haven't even done that.

I like it. Looks like she's levitating.

I would have snapped this up if I didn't already have one.

THere's too many bargains att. Thought I would put my new carpet on hold and get the DA*200. Or the DA*300, or both. Or the DA HD 70 Ltd. then there is the 15mm, 21mm and 35mm Ltds.

I don't know what to do.

I need to cool down, chill out, maybe just get the carpet and keep the missus happy.
