Thanks john
That is interesting, I am considering getting a DA 16-45 but would need to sell a couple of other lens to help finance the purchase. If the Da 16-45 is OK at 24mm on 35mm film, it would certainly ease the pain.

Steve

John, I would interested to know your findings with the 16-45

For anyone who is still confused the link below is well written and what is more has a nifty little depth of field calculator.

Thanks for the link.

Its worth mentioning that they also have the Pentax 28-105 f3.2-4.5 AF for £79

Well judged Lilly and congratulations to Iceblinker

My guess is that it will fit the MZ series. The normal designation for the black plastic version is is Fg followed by S M or L (for size of lens).

Edit, just found this information on an old Pentax User page https://www.pentaxuser.com/pages/pricelist/pl_afslracc.htm

I can see the noise on both my 19" LG Flatron LCD and IBM Thinkpad screens

The picture does look quite noisy on my monitor




On this crop of the sky I can many pixels in various shades of green and brown.

Thanks guys fo the comments. I am told that the squirrel was fronting up a cat in shot 3. Did not see it myself, but apparently it raised its tail and started making a barking kind of sound. The cat always one for a quiet life just got up and walked off .

Don't say that to my wife, she already feels that my son has picked up enough of my resource (time and cash) draining interests.
