Re: The right zoom
Hi Paul, Before the 60-250 came out I was looking at replacing my 50-200 Sigma lens. I took a memory card into a shop and did some test shots with the Pentax 50-200 and 55-300 and neither could convince me to change. I am however very happy with the 60-250. I got mine by having CR Kennedy price match what I could get it for from BH. At the time they were retailing in Australia for AU$2900 which was far too much (I think they are about AU$1300 now). It's a heavy lens but it's worth the extra weight when you want the quality. The others don't come close. Leon On 9 February 2011 12:47, Paul Ewins paulew...@optusnet.com.au wrote: Hi folks, I'm looking for a zoom to complement the 17-70/4 which I recently acquired to replace the 18-55 kit lens. I'm looking for quality optics without huge weight or huge price. If the 60-250/4 was a little cheaper and a little lighter it would be a done deal, but it isn't. Weight will probably also rule out the 3rd party 70-200/2.8 lenses. I already own a manual focus Tokina 80-200/2.8 and it is larger and heavier than I want to carry around all day. I also own the 18-250 which is a great compromise for travel, but I want something for when I don't have to compromise as much. The contenders seem to be the 50-200 and 55-300 (although I don't know if they are actually an improvement over the 18-250) or one of the FA or F series of which the F70-210 seems to be the best. The 50-135/2.8 could be regarded as an outside bet, but I'd prefer a longer zoom range. Ideally Pentax would have a compact 70-200/4 to complement the 60-250/4 but they don't and neither does any of the 3rd part manufacturers. So, what say you - DA50-200, DA55-300, DA* 50-135, F70-210 or something that I have managed to overlook. thanks, Paul -- 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 and follow the directions. -- 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 and follow the directions.

I think that I did eleven photo sessions over a span of about four hours, which would have been fairly strenuous even if I wasn't desperately trying to convince myself that I didn't have a cold.

If anything I think that the light was a bit flat. Though with most of my subjects being middle aged, that may not have been entirely a bad thing.

Re: Finally, almost.
What exactly is the front focus problem? I performed the autofocus fine adjustment for the K-5 and all of my lenses. While some required minor adjustment, the K-5 came closer as-delivered than either my k20 or K-7.

Re: The right zoom
It's 9 oz for the 50-200 vs 15.5 for the 55-300. That is a big difference, although it's a lot more reach especially for animals. Just to complicate your day, Ann.

Build quality is just okay, but I shot around ten thousand frames with one and didn't break it. Sold it in like new condition when I bought the DA* 60-250. Of course the DA* 50-135 is very good, but it's not inexpensive. I love the DA* 60-250 and use it more than any other lens. But I don't consider weight to be an impediment. I shot with the 6x7 regularly for a couple of years. Now that's heavy.

I'm looking for quality optics without huge weight or huge price. If the 60-250/4 was a little cheaper and a little lighter it would be a done deal, but it isn't. Well, weight is an issue for me as well... but I would also like a zoom with more reach than the Canon lens I sold to be able to buy it. I'm leaning toward the DA 50-200... I bet the 55-300 is too heavy. I want it for getting tight shots of zoo critters or birdies in the wild. ann -- 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 and follow the directions. -- Steve Desjardins -- 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 and follow the directions.

Well, it has to be said that I read someplace in regard to cell phones that you cannot buy now on the market a perfect device. Either it will malf, or it will hickup or it will loose its exterior appearance (peeled finish, etc), which in case of cell phones is a bummer. So, methinks, would be the case with cameras too.

Re: Finally, almost.
I'll have to test the K-5 autofocus under tungsten when I have time. I didn't seem to have a problem with focus in the pool hall, which was largely tungsten light, although I did have some misses. If it does behave differently under one kind of light, I would think that might be something that could be fixed with a firmware upgrade. Paul On Feb 9, 2011, at 7:48 AM, Ralf R.

Re: GESO dance portraits
Pretty fun. One thing I think you should look at is that the full-body-length shots tend to all be at eye-level and looking down. I think they'd have more impact if you went to a lower, flatter angle with them. On Tue, Feb 8, 2011 at 10:23 PM, Larry Colen l...@red4est.com wrote: Photographing the dance portraits last Saturday was an interesting experience. I think that I did eleven photo sessions over a span of about four hours, which would have been fairly strenuous even if I wasn't desperately trying to convince myself that I didn't have a cold. My lighting setup this time was to use the big white lighting with a reflector umbrella off camera to the right. With a big mirror along the left wall, I got more than enough fill. If anything I think that the light was a bit flat. Though with most of my subjects being middle aged, that may not have been entirely a bad thing. Artistically, I'm not entirely thrilled with the photos, but that wasn't the goal of the production line environment. The goal was to get at least a few that each paying customer would like, and I didn't have time for any sort of equipment tweaking as I went along. http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157626009196594/ Comments, feedback and helpful suggestions welcome.

Ken, Dust inevitably gets into the camera and onto the sensor, no matter what you do. You may never see it if you shoot near wide open with fast lenses all the time, but if you want to check whether you have dust on the sensor, point your camera at a white wall and make a couple of exposures at f/22. I check for dust (even with the FourThirds equipment and its SSWF cleaning business) every time I'm going out to shoot stuff that I'll be stopped way down on the tripod with a clear sky. First times I did it with the 10D and *ist DS, I was horrified how much dirt that I'd never seen before was on the sensor!
