hey everyone happy new year, its been a while since i been on here. I'm building up my kit as well as a site.

I just bought a lens and wanted to find out if this is a decent lens for the price i paid.

please can anyone with some knowledge, let me know what they think ta,

i got the lens and extension tubes apparantley it is 15 years old, in digital its 180mm and its true macro, will be getting addapter first thing in the morning if royal mail pull their fingers out......... and i'll upload a test image for you all.....

im trading in my mz50 and 28-80 and then paying the balance, seeing as both didnt cost a penny. so far with my new lens it proves to be good, i dont need the other two mentioned and it just means lugging them around, plus i have 3 other cameras so i wont miss them.....

Hey all, questions about a lens again..... Sirius M42 Screw lens 135mm f2.8 macro Mint......£39.

This is what i want to buy and add to my small collection, i have ordered the adapter from srb-griturn, and want to know if this is a good one to have or not ????? There is no picture on the site, I have seen it and held it, there are no marks on it nor are there any on the optics, its clean.......

Any ideas or what ever you can think of for this will be appreciated.

P.S I have uploaded a test image i took with my new 18-55 kit lens if anyone fancies a nose at and possibly some CC and tips......

Thats the down side to it but by god it doesnt half produce some outstanding images, if i can i will post one in my gallery tomorrow morning sometime, it's a pity we cant upload more than 1 image, how do i post a pic in the forum threads like everyone else has done then i can show you one of my best ones ?????

if i could i would of but my ist ds only starts from iso 200 and ends at 3200, i just wish pentax would bring their iso down to 50 or 64 like most other cameras, my fuji starts at 64 then goes right up to 6400.

Tried it this morning on my way to work and it seems to work netter than my other two...... it's in my gallery if you want to have a look

just a quick question, what would be the best way to test a lens ????

Hoodless, sounds rude...... sorry. In all fairness i'll need it for summer time only for winter i not too bothered. As summer got outdoor wedding, so it'll be a just incase thing to have.....

yup that one, im on a tight budget as well as having to buy xmas stuff for my two girls........
