I am using the DI version and it is superb for my use.

Thank you jonschick for your encouragement. I am obviouly trying to use the lens in the wrong way. When I dial into the detail on the K10 it tells me that the lens is 35mm and the aperture F4. I am such a dummy that I cannot work my way through this response. Will see what the camera shop can enlighten me on.

Thanks, John. You know what a beginner I am. If enabling the aperture ring means going into the menu and enabling, then I have done this as I use several manual lens. Have I got this right? I am also concerned at the inability to get a sharp photo. Will bother my friends at the local camera shop in the morning

I am trying out this lens. It says it is F8. All my pics record as F4 and are over exposed. What am I doing wrong? The adaptall mount has movable lugs. Does this have a bearing? Is this lens worth persevering with?

Have now got my hands on the goodies. The 1.7 has hardly been used, lucky me. There is a Z1 with a 3.5--4.7 in almost mint condition. Would this be saleable? There are two F lens 70-210 and the 24-50 all in near mint plus a 100-300 FA 4.5-5.6 plus a 500mm Tamron mirror lens with an adaptall 2 mount. I am quite exited about trying these. Any comments, please

IF I get both, and it is still an If, then I will be able to check out the lens. If they are in poor condition then I will accept your offers lol. There are other pieces that I may get my hands on. Seriously, I am grateful for your guidance. regards Thoramay

Thank you for your comments. What would I do without this site!! Yes!! I did try it on a dslr and could not understand the results. I now see that the dslr is the reason. I am offereing £100 for the pair. Not sure if I will keep them but I am sure there will be interest if I decide to pass them on. regards Thoramay.

Thanks, George. The fisheye is a puzzle. I have read a review that states it is a deffinate fisheye, yet when I try it out there is not much evidence of any distortion, just a slight drunken appearance to the lamp posts. Don't have much idea, though. Thought it might be a useful everyday lens. Have seen one advertised at over 200 dollars. Have offered £50 quid. Would that be a bargain?

I have been offered an SMC F.3.5-4.5 17-28 lens and a FMC F 1.7 AF adapter. What would I expect to pay? The seller is expecting me to name my price. Can anyone offer me advice on these items, please
