Re: Pentax 50-135mm f/2.8 DA* ED IF
I bought mine from Godfrey a couple of years ago. So far (touches wood nervously) I have had no trouble with SDM. It and the 16-50 are my go-to lenses when I'm not hiking (they're too heavy for hillwalking!) and I won't have time for frequent lens changing. Lovely lens for shooting concerts and rehearsals, for portraits and general low-light work, but it's like a bazooka after using primes, and can be a bit obtrusive: not really for street work or candids! If I need longer, I find that the 55-300 is fine for the little use it gets. I haven't been tempted by the 60-250 (yet).

RE: The warm precincts of the cheerful day
From: pdml-boun...@pdml.net [mailto:pdml-boun...@pdml.net] On Behalf Of Brian Walters [...] http://www.web-options.com/Tidza/ A very enjoyable gallery - certainly not the sort of landscape and village life that I'm likely to see here. I hope our ABC picks up the BBC's Village SOS programme - should be interesting. How extensive is that flat landscape of Kinder Scout? - not sure I'd want to get lost there. Definitely not a place to get lost. I was at school not so far from there and we regularly heard reports of people being found dead on the top. Some people go up there completely unprepared and get lost and caught in the changeable weather and that's the end of them. It's 700 hectares (whatever they are - I think that's about 1700 acres) of blanket bog and upland heath rising to 636m, which is approximately where we sat for our brew up. A very wild and interesting place to walk, but you have to know what you're doing. I particularly enjoyed 4, 6, 9, 13 and 15 - and those wood carvings on the church pews. Thanks. In fact, they are the choir stalls rather than the pews. Not that it makes much difference.

Paul, John, Boris Thanks for the feedback - I'll pass it on. If my son goes ahead and gets one, maybe I'll get to play with it (fathers should have some privileges). Regarding the SDM issue, I think I recall a discussion on this some months back but didn't pay a lot of attention because this is not a lens I'm likely to get. If I recall correctly, if the SDM fails, the screwdriver drive is available not a fall back option. Is that correct?

Re: Pentax 50-135mm f/2.8 DA* ED IF
17-70 is SDM only (as is the 55/1.4 btw) so no screwdriver option. The problem is, if SDM fails, the body will not allow a fallback to usual screwdrive (and we are angry at PEntax because of that) but a non-SDM body (ist-D serie, K100D) will work with screwdrive just fine. AFAICT the 16-50 had a lot more SDM problems than the 50-135 but this is from memory. As for the lens itself, it isn't very fast to AF but optically this is a pure gem.

Re: Pentax 50-135mm f/2.8 DA* ED IF
LOL. I think a combination of primes will always have an optical advantage and an operational disadvantage compared to zooms. All zooms suck? Not anymore. Too many zooms produce images that are excellent to well within a normal range of expectations and use. For some, there is never sharp enough or bokehlicious enough to make any lens really exceptional.

Re: Pentax 50-135mm f/2.8 DA* ED IF
Can't say enough good things about this lens. Highly recommend it. Use this lens when shooting my construction project, photo essays of events--most recent was my organic farm field trip. When I'm playing at photojournalist, I carry two cameras--one with the DA*50-135mm the DA 45-16mm; it's a kit that has served me well. When I got the K10D the 1st lens I got was the FA 50 f1.4 to replace the kit lens. Then I bought the DA* 50-135mm--never regretted it. Used it constantly. I do use a lot of primes now, but mostly for street work--just lighter and more discrete, but the DA* can be used for street work too-- it worked great for the blizzard photo essay earlier this year--it is weather sealed--and it's a go-to lens when I shoot landscape. It's sharp, great color and texture, lovely bokeh. Very quiet focusing. Sooo worth the money! Tell him to go for it, Brian.

Way OT - Device migration
In a couple of days my employer will replace my Blackberry with a Droid Global, which is probably a good thing. The Blackberry is such a slow, underpowered and stupid device that I have been carrying my Palm TX around too, in order to have access to the information and databases I use. So, the question is: What is the best way to migrate the stuff on my Palm to Entourage on my Mac; migrate the contacts on my Blackberry to Entourage; and then get all of that over to the Droid? I've done some web searching on the subject and it has left my head swimming. The databases on my Palm (in JFile Pro) are going to be another problem...

Re: Pentax 50-135mm f/2.8 DA* ED IF
Brian, Paul has already written what I wanted to say. I find it sharper than my FA 50/1.4 in the comparable range of settings. Also, It is much sharper than 17-70/4 in the range that they overlap. I bought that lens almost 1.5 years ago. Before that D-FA 100/2.8 macro was always in my bag. Now, 50-135 replaced it for all the occasions, except when I shoot macro. I never tried 77/1.8 or 70/2.4 so I cannot compare it to those. I think I mentioned this photo before: http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/home#/section=ARTISTsubSection=198943subSubSection=11182395language=EN It was taken with 50-135 1.7x Pentax AF converter. (I was going to show Rob's photo of me taking that photo, but he removed his photo gallery :-( ). So, my claim is that 50-135 is on par with good primes.

Re: GESO - Cotswold Way
I believe Chipping Camden may have been the scene of our only European accident. We pulled ourrented Ford Focus as far off the road as possible, to let a lorry pass. Even though we were stooped, and so close to a structure that we couldn't open the driver's door, the lorry tore off the passenger side view mirror -- and kept on driving. Fortunately, we found a nearby Ford dealer who replaced it, at a very reasonable price, while we had lunch. It may not have been Chipping Camden. All I can recall is that it was one of those villages with a cutesy name, like Chipping Camden (or Norton), Bourton-on-the-Water, Moreton-in-Marsh, or Stick-it-in-the- Wold.

Re: Pentax 50-135mm f/2.8 DA* ED IF
I have the * 50-135mm. It failed a few weeks after the warranty period. The SDM died. Until that time I have not used it for more than a couple of times (less than ten, I believe). Unfortunately, Pentax strictly forbids using it as a screw driven lens on recent bodies. The screw drive mechanism sits there in perfect order but this does not make one happy! Optically, it is simply superb. Ergonomically, it is fine. Autofocus is not stellar (slow), SDM (at least as implemented on this lens) is terrible. I have dropped mine a few months after it was fixed in Germany. Now, it is my most expensive manual zoom lens :( Bulent - http://www.flickr.com/photos/bc_the_path/ http://photo.net/photodb/user?user_id=2226822 http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/bulentcelasun 2011/5/11 Bruce Walker bruce.wal...@gmail.com: On 11-05-11 2:06 AM, Brian Walters wrote: G'day all My son is looking at this lens for his K20D.

Tim, I really like the rendering. It appears as though the band (maybe the watch, to a lesser degree) is rotated a bit counter-clockwise (counter-watchwise?).

Buthere's one education-related blog I think everyone will enjoy: http://shitmystudentswrite.tumblr.com/ Some of those are very funny. Thanks for sharing.
