I have an AF version, works perfectly. Though I cant try it on a kx...
Comment by stub posted on can i use it at 04/09/2013 - 20:22
looked through his list of 38 versions. Think I have a new version.. Same as the k02 close up wide angle 2.8 but with a Ricoh / PK mount. and yes after closer inspection it does have a pin. Like Smeggy says, i'l soon remove it.
One thing about it I havnt come across before is the "P" setting on the lens. Can anyone explain it's relevance ?
It where f16 should be on the aperture scale. Though 16 is printed on the lens scale above it.

- 2x Teleconverter - Teamed up with Sigma 105 Macro for higher macro magnification
Another good and interesting comment. Looking forward to giving that a try on my Sigma 105. - 2x Teleconverter - Teamed up with Sigma 105 Macro for higher macro magnification
Going into other territory here. Do you not find a 50mm lens a little short for portraiture work ? Even on a cropped sensor camera.
Thanks David

Does anyone know if any of those non-Pentax lenses has a Ricoh pin because, if it does, it might get stuck on a DSLR body.
No they don't. Which is all well and good.Does anyone know if any of those non-Pentax lenses has a Ricoh pin because, if it does, it might get stuck on a DSLR body.

I have got a M50 f1.7 which I hardly use so I have just fitted to very cheap extension tubes and get excellent macro shots.

I have a Komine made Vivtar 28mm
How do I find out who made my lens. I assumed it was Vivitar.... This is a lens a really fancy taking some time with..I have a Komine made Vivtar 28mm
I would be interested if any one has any comments on the image quality of film lenses compared to modern day AF lenses.. I don't mind fully manual, as long as the images are better. But if they are not then its AF all the way for me. Like everyones says I will have a better idea once ive taken them out and about..

We are have a competition at our camera club with a film camera. Where we are loading a film and everyone gets to take only one shot. If you mess it up that's it... On the camera is a 35 -70 Af lens. So the question im looking for inspiration with is this ? If you had only one shot to produce a competition winning shot. What would your subject matter be ? Please keep them within reason, I would like to photograph one of the seven wonders of the world or a Hollywood actress but sadly in real terms. Its just not going to happen.
