Is it ok having the contacts exposed like that? And can I get an adaptor from Jessops?

And what's an extension tube...

And the pictures look like this?

So, I have a lens hanging off another lens hanging off the camera?

1200!

I wish I just got a compact.


I want a macro lens please. Donations are welcome and can be sent to

Failing that what's the cheapest Macro lens I can buy for my K10. It doesn't have to autofocus, it doesn't matter if it's fossillized, but it must be able to take clear close ups of ants teeth.

Ha! I know pal, I'm just trying to take in as much info as possible. People are rating this lens so highly I did a search on eBay just out of interest and found listed several of the one I specified above. I 'm wondering now if I should be going for a super fast portrait lens. Shhh.. Don't tell the Mrs.

The reason being, I tried to take a pic of my daughter being thrown up in the air. It was very difficult to do without either being blurry or very dark. I managed to get something in the end by increasing the iso to 800, and playing with it alot in the Photoshop. It's a little noisy and not very sharp.

But I wouldn't have this problem with a lens like the SMC M 1:1.4 50mm?

Would I get the same quality from an SMC PENTAX-M 1:1.4 50mm lens?

I like them!

You know, I didn't think of all that. I just remember my dad having a go for not covering it up.

I've emailed Camera Armor.

I considered Toploaders, and my only problem with them is that you'd be a walking advertisment for muggers.

As a kid, I remember my dad having a Canon A1. It had a glove type leather case that moulded perfectly around it and would hang from the bottom of the camera when it was in use.

Do they make them for the k10. You'd think for that price they'd come with a semi-permanantly attached case.
