Jeff: > Well, my new toy arrived today here at work.
Congratulations. Makes for a nice workday for a change, eh? <g> > Since it did not come with a manual I have a couple of questions I > hope someone can answer. I maybe can answer a little for your lens only because I have the manual for the A* 300/2.8, 400/2.8, 600/5.6, and 1200/8 lenses (one manual for all of 'em). (I have the 600/5.6.) > Is the Pentax smc 49mm dropin skylight removable, or do I just > screw my filters on to this? The 49mm filter is removable, but should be replaced with another filter. (~One~ filter should always be in place.) > Did the 112mm Pentax PF SMC filter normally come with the lens? No, as far as I know. It was an accessory only, I believe. > What is the PF filter? I guess "PF" stands for "protection filter". I guess that it's essentially a clear UV filter. Pentax 112mm PF filters are a bit expensive, but there are a few Tamron MC 112mm UV filters around, and they make a pretty good substitute. (That's what I use, primarily for protection, although I will remove the filter when shooting conditions permit.) > Does anyone know where I can find an online or PDF version of the > manual? I am not aware of any.

It is a really sweet lens. Sounds good. Enjoy! Fred - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
