Re: smc PENTAX-FA 50mm F1.4 last shots with K100D Super

What surprises me is the line: price of the lense (most expensive standard prime in its class, besides Zeiss of course) Are we talking about the Pentax SMC FA 50mm f1.4? That's the cheapest in it's class (Nikon's being close). FYI the prices (in GBP... source: Ebay.co.uk): Canon 50mm f1.4 - ~165

Re: CanOFF EOS 450D Iso Test

I am a cinema fan too. I still have to read reviews about the movies to see if does it worths to pay the price of the ticket. And about cameras? I can't afford to buy a camera or a lens that I am not satisfied. I have to think 100 times and read 100 reviews about the 2 or 3 lens that comes into my

DA* 300 f4 and BOKEH

Hi List! Does anyone has experience with the DA*300/f4? http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat.asp?forum=1036thread=27840420 Is the bokeh really this ugly with the lens? Cheers, .t -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to

Re: Sigma 10-20 vs Pentax 12-24

Thank you all for your feedbacks! I bought the Pentax 12-24 f4 one... and already in love with the lens :D I think I will have to buy a new cam for the other lenses because I am not willing to take it off from the camera! :D :D :D Cheers, .timber -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net

Weather Sealing (was Re: Sigma 10-20 vs Pentax 12-24)

To me it suggests that the whole weather sealing thing may be a bit of a sales gimmick. Cheers, Dave On lens? I think yes. On body? Sure not :D I've used K10D/K20D in rain, snow, dust etc. Once I was with a group of photographers in a big snowfall. Line up was: 5 Canon EOS 350D/400D, 1

Re: Sigma 10-20 vs Pentax 12-24

I dare you to test that hypothesis on your own gear! I know I wouldn't submit non-sealed equipment to what I've put my K10D and 16-50/2.8 through! (With the ist-D and non-sealed lenses I at least tried to protect my gear in the rain, with the K10D and 16-50 I just let it all hang out.) Use

Sigma 10-20 vs Pentax 12-24

Hi list! I am planning to buy a WIDE angle lens. I am hesitating between the Sigma 10-20 and the Pentax 12-24 (maybe Pentax 10-17 Fisheye) As the price the Pentax 12-24 is almost 2 times as the Sigma 10-20 but as I read the reviews both are good lens. Actually I am wondering if the Pentax one

Re: PESO: Creative Thinking

I like this too. Really nice bokeh. But what's the thing about the skull and crossed bones on the lens?!? Jostein That's the same as the Hello Kitty sticker on my K20D :D Total Pimpage! :D .t -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to

Re: Info about Katz Eye Focusing Screens

The metering and AF would never be affected by focusing screens, since it's done 'behind the mirror'. Cheers, Timber It seems, putting a DS/Katzeye scrren in a K10D (and K20D I suppose, I do not expect any change there) would cure (at least up to a certain point) the metering problems with K

a little more of the Praktica-feeling :P)... I wonder if Katz Eye screens are so good as expensive they are... Cheers, Timber -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above

Re: Superman, the Pentax K20D, and 8 FPS?

let's hope we will have a new firmware soon :D What I don't understand: With K20D it became clear that DSLRs can make cont. shots without having to flip the mirror for every single shot. Why can't we have a continuous shooting mode like this but not with 1.2 Mpix? .t Roman Melihhov wrote:

Yeah! Chuck Norris counted to infinity. Twice. :D If you add the M42 lens then you should also add the Pentacon Six and Pentax 67 and 645 lens too. There are adapters for 645 made by Pentax, and Pentacon Six lenses are very common to be mounted on any 35mm cam. .t There are an infinite number
