Well many of the old manual focus zooms did not have them either as the numbers change as you zoom the lens.

As you can see your 16-50 does not have any DOF markings so you will have to do your own homework. This link may help http://www.dofmaster.com/dofjs.html

Thanks, I wonder what the point of it was then??

Excuse the 'newby' question, but I am trying to teach myself to use this lovely kit and I was used to the old Hyperfocal Indicator on old manual lenses but unclear how they work on the DA* range. I have picked up a lovely set of 16-50, 50-135 and 300 and really want to start to 'drive these' properly.

Any clues please?

My K3ii tracks fast jets brilliantly ( as i have set it up) but won’t track prop planes on the same settings. But the settings to alter it are to deep in the menus to bother with! 😢

Now that is a tantalising flag for instructions on how this is done please..

Anyone got any good recommendations for a wrist type strap (one that fits around your hand when grabbing the body) rather than traditional neck strap.

As I use a nice Lowepro waist bag it just needs to fill secure when I have it out (oh er missus!!)

Nice shots! Thinking about sharpness, SR will enable slower shutter speeds if we are looking at camera shake, but won't help at all with subject movement. Birds and insects move quite a bit and need high shutter speeds.

Thanks John. So obvious but I get carried away with the technology and forget the basics. I too will continue to develop the love with the DA*300. It is worth the effort that's for sure.

Would it be possible to see the comparison with the 300 with and without the adapter?

Bump.... now £ 135 incl. UK P&P.. Equivalent new one (only slighter longer) is £ 349 from SRS so is still a Bargain.
