I might pop into the shop and make an offer on it then. Thought it might be ok for landscape work so would be getting used around f/8. I was quite surprised to see "Pentax Fit" on the label and think that's what caught my eye

Anyone used this lens. Saw it in a shop at £69 looked brand new. Is it worth it?

Wow That reminds me I have that lens and don't recall using it. It came with the K7 kit, 18-55mm WR and 50-200mm WR. Must try it out in the garden tomorrow (rain is forecast but as the lens is WR ???) Thanks for the reminder

I wonder how many potential buyers have been put off by these threads regarding both the 16-50mm and the 50-135mm

Going for an eye test sometime today. Have tried giving my glasses a thorough clean but no improvement.

as I was taking it off it flashed up the F number, about half way round when twisting it off.
Did you have the camera switched on while removing the lens? I only ask because I was told the sensor acts like a vacuum cleaner sucking in dust if doing that. Could some of the contacts have shorted out ?

I had a similar experience once with the K7. I hadn't had it long, and had taken it to work on a night shift to photograph a site where I had to wear a hard hat ... well, I just couldn't get the pop-up flash to work. Kept trying all the settings, nothing! Then when the hat came off it suddenly started working ... doh!!!! took a while to realise, the peaked front was just touching the flash and pushing it down a little bit without me realising
I'm so pleased to read this, it happened to me too, but never publicised it because I felt so stupid. Was cured by wearing a different style of hat. I haven't found a source of those baseball caps with the peak at the back

I have lots of material on my computer to illustrate a book called "Common Errors in Photography"
