I was at Birdland and could have taken some nice shots of Hilary Kole, the singer or the band but I thought that cameras were not allowed. When I got there lots of people were taking pictures, although only with P&S cameras. Not sure what reaction I would have got with the K10D, grip and DA* 50-135mm...

Actually it was a twenty-something photography student and we had a chat about which medium format cameras we had! I think he was down there because he had actually heard of film...

On my friend's Mac I can see the magenta band very clearly down the right hand side along with some vignetting. Not sure what caused it though. Artificial light to the side, maybe?

For these images one "cure" would be to convert them to B&W. They are almost monochrome anyway.

Best wishes, Kris.

I bought all three of mine for less than 20 quid each time. So many of them on ebay I just kept bidding on them until I got lucky. This time next year I'll probably be getting rid of them again...

Cheers, Kris.

I have three of them for use on my work film cameras. Fine for what I use them for. I had some nice slides of a wild orchid taken using the macro mode. It isn't a spectacular lens, but for fifteen quid it is pretty good. Essentially, it is the A-series equivalent of the 18-55mm kit lens. I haven't seriously used it on my K10 as I have better glass which covers most of that range.

Best wishes, Kris.

LBA is a problem, isn't it? Personally I would stick to the Pentax rather than the Tamron, and perhaps you could save that 80 quid by buying a second hand SMC-A 50mm F1.4 instead of the FA as long as you hare happy with manual focusing. As to the 50-200, it hasn't actually arrived yet so although 30quid may seem a bargain, who knows if Jessops will deliver?

Cheers, Kris.

Comment by womble posted on Pentax 55-300 lense, a wise decision as my second lense? at 02/01/2009 - 16:53

Only thing to note, unlike the Super A keep the aperture ring set to A and change the aperture (in Av, M etc mode) via the camera body.

Best wishes, Kris.

Lovely shot, really nice. Perhaps you could crop / clone out the chair at the top, and the bright blue thing to the left? They distract just a little from their faces and a great photo.

Best wishes, Kris.

Lovely shots. I like Nr 1 but would have a little more ground for the trees to stand on, if that makes any sense!

Cheers, Kris.
