Re: Got myself a new lens
OK, welcome in the club. I love my 55-300 PLM in particular for the short distance of 95 cm making it an excellent semi-macro lens at 300 mm.

I thought he bought a K3ii with built in GPS? Alan C On 15-Mar-24 10:48 AM, Henk Terhell wrote: I have the PLM type of 55-300 which is always attached to my K-70.

I'll take some test shots soon to check out the optics but if it's as good as the older one I'lkl be very happy indeed. -- Mark Roberts - Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
FS Friday: K-5 and DA-L 55-300
In light of my recent gear acquisition posts, it should come as no surprise that I'm selling the gear I'm replacing. They're both on eBay (where I have photos posted), but I'll knock 10 bucks off the price for anyone who wants to buy direct.
